In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). RNA analysis indicates that this variant does not impact mRNA splicing (PMID: 2063868). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ALAD protein function (PMID: 11071662, 11342419, 17236137, 19015748). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16862). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficiency porphyria (PMID: 2063868, 11071662). This variant is present in population databases (rs121912980, ExAC 0.02%). This sequence change replaces glycine with arginine at codon 133 of the ALAD protein (p.Gly133Arg). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and arginine. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 5, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. -
