Genes affected
HLCS (HGNC:4976): (holocarboxylase synthetase) This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the binding of biotin to carboxylases and histones. The protein plays an important role in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis and branched chain amino acid catabolism. Defects in this gene are the cause of holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

Holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency Pathogenic:7
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 08, 2022Variant summary: HLCS c.1993C>T (p.Arg665X) 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. In at least one experimental study, a truncation downstream of this position was found to impair biotinylating activity, suggesting the C-terminal end of the protein is important for its functional activity (e.g. Campeau_2001). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 251488 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1993C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Holocarboxylase Synthetase Deficiency (e.g. Suzuki 2005, Donti 2016, Tangeraas_2020). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All laboratories classified the variant as likely pathogenic (n=3) or pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 29, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg665*) in the HLCS gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 62 amino acid(s) of the HLCS protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs146448211, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency (PMID: 16134170, 27114915, 33123633). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203770). This variant disrupts the C-terminus of the HLCS protein. Other variant(s) that disrupt this region (p.Arg665Aspfs*41) have been observed in individuals with HLCS-related conditions (PMID: 10190325). This suggests that this may be a clinically significant region of the protein. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
