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]

Variant summary: HLCS c.1A>G (p.Met1Val aka. p.Met1?) alters the initiation codon and is predicted to result either in absence of the protein or truncation of the encoded protein due to translation initiation at a downstream codon. Two potential in-frame start codons (ATG) are located downstream in the same exon (at Met7), and in the next exon (Met58). In vitro functional studies suggest that the HLCS protein can be translated from all three (i.e. Met1, Met7 and Met58) translation initiation codons, and these isoforms occur in human tissues (PMIDs: 9630604, 20153287). No truncations upstream of the alternative initiation codons are reported in affected individuals (HGMD), in addition, in vitro experiments demonstrated that N-terminal truncations starting at Met58 (and even at Ala80) resulted in a fully active enzyme (PMID 11124959). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251460 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1A>G in individuals affected with Holocarboxylase Synthetase Deficiency and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
