Genes affected
ASNS (HGNC:753): (asparagine synthetase (glutamine-hydrolyzing)) The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the synthesis of asparagine. This gene complements a mutation in the temperature-sensitive hamster mutant ts11, which blocks progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle at nonpermissive temperature. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
ASNS Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):
  • congenital microcephaly - severe encephalopathy - progressive cerebral atrophy syndrome

Variant summary: ASNS c.1648C>T (p.Arg550Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251360 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1648C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Asparagine Synthetase Deficiency and was shown to segregate with disease in families (e.g. Ruzzo_2013, Mercimek-Mahmutoglu_2015, Gataullina_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 550 of the ASNS protein (p.Arg550Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs398122974, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with asparagine synthetase deficiency (PMID: 24139043, 27522229). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91841). 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 ASNS protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
