Genes affected

ABAT (HGNC:23): (4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase) 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT) is responsible for catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an important, mostly inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, into succinic semialdehyde. The active enzyme is a homodimer of 50-kD subunits complexed to pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The protein sequence is over 95% similar to the pig protein. GABA is estimated to be present in nearly one-third of human synapses. ABAT in liver and brain is controlled by 2 codominant alleles with a frequency in a Caucasian population of 0.56 and 0.44. The ABAT deficiency phenotype includes psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, lethargy, refractory seizures, and EEG abnormalities. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.63).
• BP6: Variant 16-8735752-T-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-8735752-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 1555962.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.594 with no splicing effect.
