Genes affected
ARG1 (HGNC:663): (arginase 1) Arginase catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. At least two isoforms of mammalian arginase exist (types I and II) which differ in their tissue distribution, subcellular localization, immunologic crossreactivity and physiologic function. The type I isoform encoded by this gene, is a cytosolic enzyme and expressed predominantly in the liver as a component of the urea cycle. Inherited deficiency of this enzyme results in argininemia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperammonemia. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
MED23 (HGNC:2372): (mediator complex subunit 23) The activation of gene transcription is a multistep process that is triggered by factors that recognize transcriptional enhancer sites in DNA. These factors work with co-activators to direct transcriptional initiation by the RNA polymerase II apparatus. The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the CRSP (cofactor required for SP1 activation) complex, which, along with TFIID, is required for efficient activation by SP1. This protein is also a component of other multisubunit complexes e.g. thyroid hormone receptor-(TR-) associated proteins which interact with TR and facilitate TR function on DNA templates in conjunction with initiation factors and cofactors. This protein also acts as a metastasis suppressor. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 02, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg21*) in the ARG1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ARG1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7649538, 12052859). This variant is present in population databases (rs104893944, gnomAD 0.03%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with argininemia (PMID: 10502833, 21802329). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2397). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 13, 2021The c.61C>T (p.R21*) alteration, located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the ARG1 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 61. This changes the amino acid from an arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 21. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This mutation has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in patients with argininemia (Cardoso, 1999; Jain-Ghai, 2011; Diez-Fernandez, 2018). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
