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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg236*) in the GLDC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GLDC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16601880). This variant is present in population databases (rs386833585, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with glycine encephalopathy (PMID: 16601880). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56102). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
