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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 22-50626594-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-50626594-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 68152.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr22-50626594-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr22-50626594-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 284 of the ARSA protein (p.Asn284Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 33185815). This variant is also known as c.845A>G (p.Asn282Ser). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68152). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ARSA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ARSA function (PMID: 18693274). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: ARSA c.851A>G (p.Asn284Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Two of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The frequency data for this variant in gnomAD is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position. c.851A>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (e.g. Grossi_2008, Amr_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that the variant resulted in <1% of wild type ARSA activity (Grossi_2008). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18693274, 33185815). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68152). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.86; 3Cnet: 1.00). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported to be associated with ARSA -related disorder (PMID: 18693274). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Asn284Lys) has been reported to be associated with ARSA -related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000431089 / PMID: 28762252). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
