Arginase deficiency    Pathogenic:3 
Variant summary: ARG1 c.938delA (p.Lys313SerfsX22) causes a frameshift which results in an extension of the protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251050 control chromosomes. c.938delA has been reported in the literature in settings of exome sequencing in newborn screening for inborn errors of metabolism, however the exact clinical details, genotype, zygosity are not specified (example, Adhikari_2020). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arginase Deficiency. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
This sequence change results in a frameshift in the ARG1 gene (p.Lys313Serfs*22). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 10 amino acid(s) of the ARG1 protein and extend the protein by 11 additional amino acid residues. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%). This frameshift has been observed in individual(s) with arginase deficiency (internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 459925). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
