Genes affected

OAT (HGNC:8091): (ornithine aminotransferase) This gene encodes the mitochondrial enzyme ornithine aminotransferase, which is a key enzyme in the pathway that converts arginine and ornithine into the major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Mutations that result in a deficiency of this enzyme cause the autosomal recessive eye disease Gyrate Atrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. Related pseudogenes have been defined on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 54 of the OAT protein (p.Asn54Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs121965048, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with gyrate atrophy (PMID: 3375240). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 163). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects OAT function (PMID: 3375240). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: OAT c.162C>A (p.Asn54Lys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251486 control chromosomes. c.162C>A has been observed in individual(s) affected with Ornithine Aminotransferase Deficiency (Ramesh_1988). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Ornithine Aminotransferase Deficiency. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Ramesh_1988). The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal ornithine aminotransferase activity. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 163). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
