This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000203.5: c.590-7G>A variant in IDUA occurs within the splice acceptor site motif of intron 5. RT-PCR analysis revealed skipping of biologically-relevant-exon 6/14, or, rarely, intron 5 inclusion, resulting mainly in splicing at nt -28 of intron 5, and also a very small amount of normal IDUA mRNA (PMID:8213840; 9748610) (PVS1_Strong (RNA)). This variant is also reported as IDUA:c. 678-7 G>A in older literature (PMID:8213840). This variant has been detected in at least 10 individuals with MPS I, all compound heterozygous for the variant and another variant in IDUA that has been classified as pathogenic for MPS I by the ClinGen LD VCEP, all phase unconfirmed, including c.208C>T (p.Gln70Ter) (PMID:28752568, ClinVar Variation ID: 11909, 0.5 points), c.1205G>A (p.Trp402Ter) (PMID:28752568, CinVar Variation ID: 11908, 7 patients, max 2 x 0.5 points), and (c.1029C>G (p.Tyr343Ter) (C;inVar Variation ID: 550474, clinical lab, 0.5 points) (PM3_Strong). Total 2 points (PM3_Strong). At least 1 patient with this variant had documented IDUA deficiency within the affected range in leukocytes, a significant reduction in urine GAGs upon treatment with enzyme replacement therapy, and clinical features specific to MPS I including arthropathy, corneal involvement, and valvular thickening. (PP4_Moderate). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.00004241 (50/1178952 alleles) in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.00025), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 222996). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for MPS I based on the IDUA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 1.0.0): PVS1_strong, PM3_strong, PP4_moderate, PM2_supporting.(Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel on December 6, 2024) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA356990/MONDO:0001586/091

The c.590-7G>A variant in IDUA has been reported in at least 10 individuals with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) (PMID: 28752568, 8213840, 9748610) and has been identified in 0.001% (1/106874) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs762411583). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (VariationID: 222996) as pathogenic by Counsyl, OMIM, and GeneReviews. Functional studies demonstrating that the variant activates a cryptic splice site provide some evidence that the c.590-7G>A variant may slightly impact protein function (PMID: 8213840). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. This variant is located in the 3' splice region. Computational tools suggest a possible impact to splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The phenotype of individuals compound heterozygous for this variant is high' ly specific for MPS based on their Alpha-L-iduronidase protein levels being <1% consistent with disease (PMID: 9748610, 8213840). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for MPS in an autosomal recessive manner based on the presence of the variant in combination with reported pathogenic variants, the phenotype of patients with the variant being highly specific for MPS, and evidence of aberrant splicing. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_very-strong, PM2, PP4, PS3_supporting (Richards 2015). -

This sequence change falls in intron 5 of the IDUA gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the IDUA protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has been observed in individuals with Scheie syndrome (PMID: 8213840, 28752568). This variant is also known as 678-7G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 222996). Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic splice acceptor, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 8318992). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Variant causes attenuated MPS I; creates alternate splice site, but (as old splice site is not obliterated) some normal enzyme is produced. -
