Genes affected
MOCOS (HGNC:18234): (molybdenum cofactor sulfurase) This gene encodes an enzyme that sulfurates the molybdenum cofactor which is required for activation of the xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) and aldehyde oxidase (AO) enzymes. XDH catalyzes the conversion of hypoxanthine to uric acid via xanthine, as well as the conversion of allopurinol to oxypurinol, and pyrazinamide to 5-hydroxy pyrazinamide. Mutations in this gene cause the metabolic disorder classical xanthinuria type II which is characterized by the loss of XDH/XO and AO enzyme activity, decreased levels of uric acid in the urine, increased levels of xanthine and hypoxanthine in the serum and urine, formation of xanthine stones in the urinary tract, and myositis due to tissue deposition of xanthine.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg419*) in the MOCOS gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MOCOS are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11302742, 17368066). This variant is present in population databases (rs142150953, gnomAD 0.05%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with classical xanthinuria type II (PMID: 11302742). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 253160). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: MOCOS c.1255C>T (p.Arg419X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00026 in 251260 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in MOCOS causing Xanthinuria Type II, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1255C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Xanthinuria Type II (e.g. Ichida_2001). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11302742). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 253160). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
