Genes affected
GLDC (HGNC:4313): (glycine decarboxylase) Degradation of glycine is brought about by the glycine cleavage system, which is composed of four mitochondrial protein components: P protein (a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent glycine decarboxylase), H protein (a lipoic acid-containing protein), T protein (a tetrahydrofolate-requiring enzyme), and L protein (a lipoamide dehydrogenase). The protein encoded by this gene is the P protein, which binds to glycine and enables the methylamine group from glycine to be transferred to the T protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 29, 2024This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 19 of the GLDC gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in GLDC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16601880). This variant is present in population databases (rs386833554, gnomAD 0.007%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with glycine encephalopathy/nonketotic hyperglycinemia (PMID: 16601880, 26179960, 27362913). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56073). 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. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 07, 2019Variant summary: GLDC c.2316-1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict that the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 248604 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2316-1G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Glycine Encephalopathy (Non-Ketotic Hyperglycinemia; e.g. Conter_2006, Swanson_2015, Coughlin_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories cited the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. c.2316-1G>A has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: NFE 0.01%). In summary, NM_000170.2(GLDC):c.2316-1G>A is a canonical splice variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, is predicted to disrupt protein function, and has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesOct 02, 2022The GLDC c.2316-1G>A variant is predicted to disrupt the AG splice acceptor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant is predicted to abolish the canonical splicing acceptor site at the junction of intron 19 and exon 20 (Alamut Visual v2.11). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous and homozygous state in multiple individuals to be causative for autosomal recessive glycine encephalopathy (Conter et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16601880; Table S1, Swanson et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26179960). This variant is classified as pathogenic. -
