NM_000170.3:c.1166C>T

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PS3PM1PM2PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000170.3(GLDC):​c.1166C>T​(p.Ala389Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000156 in 1,605,198 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000480517: Functional expression studies in COS-7 cells showed that the variant enzyme retained from 7.9% to over 10% of the wild type enzymatic activity which may explain the mild phenotype (Dinopoulos et al. 2005" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A389A) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000480517: Functional expression studies in COS-7 cells showed that the variant enzyme retained from 7.9% to over 10% of the wild type enzymatic activity which may explain the mild phenotype (Dinopoulos et al. 2005; Swanson et 2015).; SCV000636349: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GLDC function (PMID: 15824356, 26179960).; SCV005900550: Functional studies indicate this variant may lead to reduced enzyme activity (PMID: 26179960).
PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_000170.3
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.92
PP5
Variant 9-6595109-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-6595109-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 11989.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
