Genes affected
GSS (HGNC:4624): (glutathione synthetase) Glutathione is important for a variety of biological functions, including protection of cells from oxidative damage by free radicals, detoxification of xenobiotics, and membrane transport. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a homodimer to catalyze the second step of glutathione biosynthesis, which is the ATP-dependent conversion of gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine to glutathione. Defects in this gene are a cause of glutathione synthetase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Inherited glutathione synthetase deficiency Uncertain:1Benign:2
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 28, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to rule this variant out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 22, 2022Variant summary: GSS c.941C>T (p.Pro314Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00082 in 251350 control chromosomes, including one homozygote in the general population (gnomAD). The variant occurs predominantly at a frequency of 0.0094 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, which is approximately 3 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in GSS causing Glutathione Synthetase Deficiency phenotype (0.003), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.941C>T has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with Glutathione Synthetase Deficiency (Shi_1996), occuring in cis with a second pathogenic variant (GSS c.1139_1144del, p.Val380_Gln381del), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Experimental evidence evaluating protein function demonstrated the variant does not impact enzyme function in vitro (Njallson_2004) or in a yeast complementation assay (Shi_1996). Four ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: one classified the variant as of uncertain significance and three as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 22, 2017This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
