Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2 BP4

The NM_153006.3(NAGS):​c.56T>C​(p.Leu19Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L19L) has been classified as Benign.

Genes affected

NAGS (HGNC:17996): (N-acetylglutamate synthase) The N-acetylglutamate synthase gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the formation of N-acetylglutamate (NAG) from glutamate and acetyl coenzyme-A. NAG is a cofactor of carbamyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI), the first enzyme of the urea cycle in mammals. This gene may regulate ureagenesis by altering NAG availability and, thereby, CPSI activity. Deficiencies in N-acetylglutamate synthase have been associated with hyperammonemia.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.36544678).

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant c.56T>C (p.Leu19Pro) in the NAGS gene is reported with an estimated allele frequency of 0.0000119 in gnomAD exomes, with no homozygous individuals reported. The nucleotide position is moderately conserved across 35 mammalian species (GERP RS: 2.07). In silico analysis indicates that the variant might be neutral. However, especially in the setting of variable expressivity, it is advised to use in silico prediction tools with caution (PMID:29805046). -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 19 of the NAGS protein (p.Leu19Pro). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NAGS-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1297474). 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. 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. -
