Genes affected
OAT (HGNC:8091): (ornithine aminotransferase) This gene encodes the mitochondrial enzyme ornithine aminotransferase, which is a key enzyme in the pathway that converts arginine and ornithine into the major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Mutations that result in a deficiency of this enzyme cause the autosomal recessive eye disease Gyrate Atrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. Related pseudogenes have been defined on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign.

Variant summary: OAT c.1311G>T (p.Leu437Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00028 in 249800 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in OAT causing Ornithine Aminotransferase Deficiency (0.00028 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. However, the severity and onset age for OAT-related conditions are not compatible with observing homozygous controls in gnomAD. c.1311G>T has been reported in cis with a pathogenic variant on 1 allele (2nd allele carried pathogenic variant in trans) in the literature in at least 1 individual affected with Ornithine Aminotransferase Deficiency (example, Brody_1992, Doimo_2013). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Ornithine Aminotransferase Deficiency. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (OAT c.1250C>T, p.Pro417Leu), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant in patient cells, CHO cells, or yeast expression systems (example, Brody_1992, Doimo_2013). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 1737786, 23076989). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56116). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
