Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000382.3(ALDH3A2):c.682C>T(p.Arg228Cys) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000231 in 1,604,176 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R228H) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect with significant loss of enzyme activity for the R228C mutant at 9% of the wild-type activity (Rizzo et al., 1999); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16476818, 10577908, 30925032, 31456290, 16837225, 28257279, 28471629, 25047030, 27717089, 32395410) -
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 228 of the ALDH3A2 protein (p.Arg228Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs72547566, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Sjögren–Larsson syndrome (PMID: 10577908, 27717089, 28257279, 28471629, 30925032). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 556574). 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 ALDH3A2 function (PMID: 10577908). This variant disrupts the p.Arg228 amino acid residue in ALDH3A2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22397046, 29704247). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
