Genetic Variant ARSA:p.Arg301Gln (chr22-50626231-C-T) – ACMG Classification: Likely_pathogenic (8 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3

The NM_000487.6(ARSA):c.902G>A(p.Arg301Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000192 in 1,613,548 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R301W) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

ARSA (HGNC:713): (arylsulfatase A) The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes cerebroside sulfate to cerebroside and sulfate. Defects in this gene lead to metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD), a progressive demyelination disease which results in a variety of neurological symptoms and ultimately death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points.

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 20 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 8 uncertain in NM_000487.6

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PM5

Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr22-50626232-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 1048519.

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 159 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 11 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.38013 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.56919 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to metachromatic leukodystrophy, juvenile form, metachromatic leukodystrophy.

PP3

Splicing predictors support a deleterious effect. Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
