Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_003060.4(SLC22A5):c.760C>T(p.Arg254*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000229 in 1,614,136 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 Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R254R) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

The variant NM_003060.3:c.760C>T p.(Arg254*) in SLC22A5 is predicted to result in a premature stop codon leading to a truncated protein that lacks more than half of its sequence or to its degradation by a nonsense-mediated decay mechanism. This variant is present at low frequency in gnomAD (0,01131%) and it has been reported previously in individuals with primary carnitine deficiency (PMID: 12204000,35193651, Hidalgo Mayoral I et al., in press). -

Variant summary: The SLC22A5 variant, c.760C>T (p.Arg254X) causes a nonsense mutation resulting in a predicted truncated protein, a known mechanism for decay. The variant of interest has been observed in controls with an allele frequency of 14/121906 (1/8710), which does not exceed the estimated maximum expected allele frequency for a pathogenic SLC22A5 variant of 1/219. Multiple publications cite the variant in homozygous affected individuals, which are indicated to have low carnitine levels. In addition, multiple databases/clinical diagnostic laboratories cite the variant as "pathogenic." Therefore, the variant of interest has been classified as "pathogenic." -
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg254*) in the SLC22A5 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SLC22A5 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9916797). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908893, gnomAD 0.1%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with primary carnitine deficiency (PMID: 12204000, 15303004, 17703373, 20208395, 26252091). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6426). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
NM_003060.3(SLC22A5):c.760C>T(R254*) is classified as pathogenic in the context of primary carnitine deficiency. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 23379544, 17703373 and 20574985. Classification of NM_003060.3(SLC22A5):c.760C>T(R254*) is based on the following criteria: The variant causes a premature termination codon that is expected to be targeted by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and is reported in individuals with the relevant phenotype. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

The R254X nonsense variant in the SLC22A5 gene has been reported previously in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in association with primary/systemic carnitine deficiency, and is considered a founder mutation in the Chinese population (Tang et al., 2002; Hitomi et al., 2015). This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The R254X variant is observed in 13/8654 (0.15%) alleles from individuals of East Asian background in the ExAC dataset, and no individuals were reported to be homozygous (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret R254X as a pathogenic variant. -
