Genes affected
ASS1 (HGNC:758): (argininosuccinate synthase 1) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the penultimate step of the arginine biosynthetic pathway. There are approximately 10 to 14 copies of this gene including the pseudogenes scattered across the human genome, among which the one located on chromosome 9 appears to be the only functional gene for argininosuccinate synthetase. Mutations in the chromosome 9 copy of this gene cause citrullinemia. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Variant summary: ASS1 c.323G>T (p.Arg108Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0038 in 394424 control chromosomes, including 11 homozygotes (gnomAD v2.1 and v3.1 non-v2 datasets). The variant was reported predominantly within the African or African-American subpopulation at a frequency of 0.014 (including 7 homozygotes), the observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 3.4-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in ASS1 causing Citrullinemia Type I phenotype (0.0041), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism. Though the variant, c.323G>T, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Citrullinemia Type I (Vilaseca_2001, Haberle_2002, Tabor_2014,), these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Citrullinemia Type I. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven other submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as VUS (n=2), likely benign (n=3) / benign (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
