Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_000454.5(SOD1):​c.242A>G​(p.His81Arg) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H81Y) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

SOD1 (HGNC:11179): (superoxide dismutase 1) The protein encoded by this gene binds copper and zinc ions and is one of two isozymes responsible for destroying free superoxide radicals in the body. The encoded isozyme is a soluble cytoplasmic protein, acting as a homodimer to convert naturally-occuring but harmful superoxide radicals to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The other isozyme is a mitochondrial protein. In addition, this protein contains an antimicrobial peptide that displays antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-MRSA activity against E. coli, E. faecalis, S. aureus, S. aureus MRSA LPV+, S. agalactiae, and yeast C. krusei. Mutations in this gene have been implicated as causes of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Rare transcript variants have been reported for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 10 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_000454.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr21-31667259-C-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2059610.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 96 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 0 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.83817 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.2198 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 1, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spastic tetraplegia and axial hypotonia, progressive.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.994
• PP5: Variant 21-31667260-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr21-31667260-A-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 14782.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine with arginine at codon 81 of the SOD1 protein (p.His81Arg). The histidine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between histidine and arginine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 12402272). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is also known as His80Arg. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14782). Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects SOD1 protein function (PMID: 16945901, 19483195, 20515040, 23280792). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
