Genes affected
ARSA (HGNC:713): (arylsulfatase A) The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes cerebroside sulfate to cerebroside and sulfate. Defects in this gene lead to metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD), a progressive demyelination disease which results in a variety of neurological symptoms and ultimately death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 202 of the ARSA protein (p.Arg202Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs374482942, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 26462614). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552314). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ARSA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Identified in an individual with metachromatic leukodystrophy who also harbored a second ARSA variant, although the phase of these variants was not confirmed and detailed clinical information was not provided for this individual (Cesani et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26462614) -
