Genes affected
AGXT (HGNC:341): (alanine--glyoxylate aminotransferase) This gene is expressed only in the liver and the encoded protein is localized mostly in the peroxisomes, where it is involved in glyoxylate detoxification. Mutations in this gene, some of which alter subcellular targetting, have been associated with type I primary hyperoxaluria. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM-The frame shift c.33del (p.Lys12ArgfsTer34) variant has been reported previously in homozygous state in patients affected with Hyperoxaluria (Coulter-Mackie MB et al). This p.Lys12ArgfsTer34 variant has allele frequency of 0.0017% in the gnomAD and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Lysine 12, changes this amino acid to Arginine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 34 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Lys12ArgfsTer34. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

AGXT-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesOct 18, 2023The AGXT c.33delC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Lys12Argfs*34). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with hyperoxaluria (for example see: Coulter-Mackie et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15963748; Williams et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17495019). This variant is reported in 0.017% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-241808307-AC-A). Frameshift variants in AGXT are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Primary hyperoxaluria Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 08, 2019Variant summary: AGXT c.33delC (p.Lys12ArgfsX34) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. p.Lys12fsX156, p.Ser275fsX38). The variant was absent in 242874 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.33delC has been reported in the literature in homozygous individuals affected with Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (Amoroso 2001, Williams 2007, Hoyer-Kuhn_2014). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. One of these publications also measured liver AGT activity in a homozygous patient, and demonstrated a pronounced variant effect, resulting in <10% of normal activity (Williams 2007). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 26, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys12Argfs*34) in the AGXT gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in AGXT are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19479957). 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with hyperoxaluria (PMID: 15963748, 17495019, 26383609). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188775). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
