Genes affected

GCH1 (HGNC:4193): (GTP cyclohydrolase 1) This gene encodes a member of the GTP cyclohydrolase family. The encoded protein is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) biosynthesis, catalyzing the conversion of GTP into 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate. BH4 is an essential cofactor required by aromatic amino acid hydroxylases as well as nitric oxide synthases. Mutations in this gene are associated with malignant hyperphenylalaninemia and dopa-responsive dystonia. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described; however, not all variants give rise to a functional enzyme. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 7.8, offset of 8, new splice context is: tttcttttctacgattgtAGaaa. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 14-54847131-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-54847131-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 449757.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.510-1G>C splice site variant in the GCH1 gene destroys the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 3. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. The variant was not observed in approximately 6,400 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Although this pathogenic variant has not been previously reported to our knowledge, its presence is consistent with a diagnosis of dopa-responsive dystonia -
