Genes affected
CBS (HGNC:1550): (cystathionine beta-synthase) The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to catalyze the conversion of homocysteine to cystathionine, the first step in the transsulfuration pathway. The encoded protein is allosterically activated by adenosyl-methionine and uses pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. Defects in this gene can cause cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency (CBSD), which can lead to homocystinuria. This gene is a major contributor to cellular hydrogen sulfide production. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

The c.451G>A variant (also known as p.G151R), located in coding exon 3 of the CBS gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 451. This change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 3, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. In addition to potential splicing impact, this alteration changes the glycine at codon 151 to arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant has been observed in multiple individuals with homocystinuria, some of whom were homozygous or compound heterozygous with another CBS alteration (Kraus JP et al. Hum. Mutat., 1999;13:362-75; Linnebank M et al. Hum. Mutat., 2004 Oct;24:352-3; Katsushima F et al. Mol. Genet. Metab., 2006 Apr;87:323-8; Poloni S et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2018 03;6:160-170). An in vitro assay involving yeast plasmids showed that cells with this alteration required glutathione supplementation to support growth, indicating severe loss of function (Mayfield JA et al. Genetics, 2012 Apr;190:1309-23). Both the nucleotide position and amino acid positions are highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to weaken the efficiency of the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

In vitro functional assays demonstrated loss of CBS enzyme activity (Mayfield et al., 2012; Katsushima et al., 2006); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25087612, 25525159, 29352562, 22267502, 15365998, 16307898, 10338090) -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 151 of the CBS protein (p.Gly151Arg). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 5, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs373782713, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with homocystinuria (PMID: 10338090, 15365998, 16307898, 29352562). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 863694). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CBS function (PMID: 16307898, 20066033, 22267502). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The CBS c.451G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly151Arg. This variant was reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in individuals with homocystinuria (Kraus et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10338090; Katsushima et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16307898; Poloni et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29352562). Functional studies showed that this variant results in impaired enzyme activity and altered assembly of the CBS tetramer (Katsushima et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16307898; Mayfield et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22267502). This variant is reported in 0.0081% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Variant summary: CBS c.451G>A (p.Gly151Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Pyridoxal-phosphate dependent enzyme domain (IPR001926) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. This variant is located in an exonic splicing region. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict that the variant abolishes or weakens a canonical 5' splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 248820 control chromosomes. c.451G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Homocystinuria (e.g. Kraus_1999, Linnebank_2004, Katsushima_2006, Poloni_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Several publications report experimental evidence indicating that the variant results in severely reduced enzyme activity in-vitro when studied in E. coli or yeast models (e.g. Katsushima_2006, Singh_2010, Mayfield_2012). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, citing the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
