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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 246 of the ARSA protein (p.Arg246His). This variant is present in population databases (rs199476366, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 9090526, 22993277, 25965562, 26462614). This variant is also known as p.Arg244His. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68148). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ARSA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg246 amino acid residue in ARSA. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with ARSA-related conditions (PMID: 2299327, 9090526), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
