The NM_000481.4(AMT):c.-24_86del variant causes a 5 prime UTR truncation, exon loss change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★).
AMT (HGNC:473): (aminomethyltransferase) This gene encodes one of four critical components of the glycine cleavage system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with glycine encephalopathy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
NICN1 (HGNC:18317): (nicolin 1, tubulin polyglutamylase complex subunit) This protein encoded by this gene localizes to the nucleus and is expressed in numerous tissues including brain, testis, liver, and kidney. This refseq contains genomic sequence in its 3' UTR which is not supported by experimental evidence. Computer predictions indicate that this region of the 3' UTR contains hairpin-forming self-complementary sequence which is possibly excised after transcription. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. If the downstream in-frame methionine at codon 49 is utilized for translation initiation, this variant would expect to disrupt the p.Gly47 amino acid residue in AMT. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8005589, 27362913, 23352163). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with AMT-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 965232). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the AMT mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon p.Met49. -
