Genes affected
GBA1 (HGNC:4177): (glucosylceramidase beta 1) This gene encodes a lysosomal membrane protein that cleaves the beta-glucosidic linkage of glycosylceramide, an intermediate in glycolipid metabolism. Mutations in this gene cause Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disease characterized by an accumulation of glucocerebrosides. A related pseudogene is approximately 12 kb downstream of this gene on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaOct 05, 2021The GBA c.1504C>T (p.Arg502Cys) variant is a missense variant, also described in the literature as p.Arg463Cys, and is associated with Gaucher disease (GD). Across a selection of the available literature, the p.Arg502Cys variant is reported in a homozygous state in two individuals with GD, and in a compound heterozygous state in 37 individuals with GD patients (Hatton et al. 1997; Koprivica et al. 2000; Emre et al 2008; Huang et al. 2020). The phenotypes and age of onset in affected individuals is variable and includes type 1 and type 3 Gaucher disease. The p.Arg502Cys variant is reported at a frequency of 0.000118 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database (version 3.1.1). In vitro functional studies have demonstrated reduced enzymatic activity for the p.Arg502Cys variant protein compared to wild-type (Grace et al. 1994). Based on the evidence, the p.Arg502Cys variant is classified as pathogenic for Gaucher disease. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingFoundation for Research in Genetics and Endocrinology, FRIGE's Institute of Human GeneticsJul 30, 2022A homozygous missense variation in exon 10 of the GBA gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Argenine for Cytosine at codon502 was detected. The observed variant c.1504C>T (p.Arg502Cys) has not been reported in the 1000 genomes and has a MAF of 0.007% in the gnomAD databases. The in silico prediction of the variant is by MutationTaster2. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardJan 22, 2020The p.Arg502Cys variant in GBA has been reported in at least 17 individuals with Gaucher disease (PMID: 9279145, 24522292, 18586596) and has been identified in 0.011% (14/128876) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes, 0.010% (3/30616) of South Asian chromosomes, and 0.008% (2/24964) of African chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs80356771). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (VariationID: 4295) as pathogenic by EGL Genetic diagnostics, GeneDx, Counsyl, Integrated Genetics, Fulgent Genetics, and OMIM. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. One additional variant, resulting in a different amino acid change at the same position, p.Arg502His, has been reported in association with disease in the literature and ClinVar, raising the possibility that a change at this position may not be tolerated (PMID: 21070, PMID: 23332636, 17427031, 28727984). The phenotype of an individual homozygous for this variant is highly specific for Gaucher disease based on Beta-glucosidase activity levels below the diagnostic marker of 8.7 nmol/h/mg protein consistent with disease (PMID: 24522292). Additionally, the homozygous occurrence of this variant in 3 individuals with Gaucher disease and the presence of this variant in combination with reported pathogenic variants in 9 individuals with Gaucher disease increases the likelihood that the p.Arg502Cys variant is pathogenic (VariationID: 4290, 4288, 4293; PMID: 9279145, 24522292, 18586596). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Gaucher disease in an autosomal recessive manner based on multiple occurrences of the variant in affected individuals and in a homozygous or compound heterozygous state with other pathogenic variants, computational predictions, and the phenotype of a homozygote being highly specific for the disease.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteJun 24, 2022Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as pathogenic. The following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Gaucher disease (MIM# 230800, 230900, 231000, 231005, 608013). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. Gaucher disease is associated with marked clinical variability, even within the same family (PMID: 31010158). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to cysteine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 25, 2017Variant summary: The GBA c.1504C>T (p.Arg502Cys) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a missense change within the glycosyl hydrolase family 30, beta sandwich domain (InterPro). 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 7/121382 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000577, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic GBA variant (0.005). The variant has been identified in numerous patients with Gaucher disease type I and type III, both as a compound heterozygous and homozygous allele. The variant is considered a recurrent mutation and has been associated with mild and severe Gaucher-related phenotypes in patients. Functional studies showed a significant reduction in enzyme activity (Grace_1994). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingRady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego-This variant is also known as p.Arg463Cys in the literature (PMID: 23588557). This variant has been previously reported as a compound heterozygous change most commonly in patients with Gaucher disease, but also among patients with Parkinson disease and renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 1972019, 24482953, 8733893, 17427031, 21704274, 29625052, 30537300). Functional studies indicate that this variant impairs the GBA enzyme activity (PMID: 11259172, 8294487). The frequency data for variants in the GBA gene in population databases may be unreliable due to the presence of pseudogenes and paralogs (PMID: 20301446). In silico analyses support a deleterious effect of the c.1504C>T (p.Arg502Cys) variant on protein function. Based on the available evidence, the c.1504C>T (p.Arg502Cys) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 17, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 502 of the GBA protein (p.Arg502Cys). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases (gnomAD) is considered unreliable due to the presence of homologous sequence, such as pseudogenes or paralogs, in the genome. This missense change has been observed in individuals with Gaucher disease and Parkinson's disease (PMID: 1972019, 8733893, 17427031, 21704274, 24482953). This variant is also known as p.Arg463Cys or R463C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4295). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GBA function (PMID: 8294487, 11259172). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesSep 23, 2021The GBA c.1504C>T; p.Arg502Cys variant (rs80356771), also known as Arg463Cys, is reported in the literature in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with Gaucher syndrome (Alfonso 2007, Chauhan 2013, Hatton 1997, Tayebi 1996). Functional analyses of the variant protein show a dramatic reduction in GBA enzyme activity (Grace 1994, Liou 2006). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 4295). This variant is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.011% (14/128876 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 502 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.817). Additionally, other amino acid substitutions at this codon (His, Pro, Cys, Gln, Ser) have been reported in individuals with Gaucher syndrome (Alfonso 2007, Liou 2006, Beutler 1994, Jurecka 2011). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Alfonso P et al. Mutation analysis and genotype/phenotype relationships of Gaucher disease patients in Spain.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 02, 2015The p.R502C pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1504C>T and p.R463C in the literature), located in coding exon 10 of the GBA gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1504. The arginine at codon 502 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This mutation was originally identified in combination with p.L444P in a non-Jewish patient with Gaucher disease type 1 and results in a significant reduction of normal enzyme activity (Hong CM et al. DNA Cell Biol. 1990;9(4):233-241) This mutation was also observed in 10 patients, 9 of whom were non-Ashkenazi Jewish, and affected with either Gaucher disease type 1 or type 3 (subacute nueronopathic type) (Koprivica V, Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2000 Jun; 66(6):1777-86). Another functional study found this mutation inactivated the enzyme function completely by rapid degredation (Liou B, J. Biol. Chem. 2006 Feb; 281(7):4242-53). Based on the supporting evidence, p.R502C is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
