Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_054012.4(ASS1):​c.370G>C​(p.Asp124His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,872 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D124N) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

ASS1 (HGNC:758): (argininosuccinate synthase 1) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the penultimate step of the arginine biosynthetic pathway. There are approximately 10 to 14 copies of this gene including the pseudogenes scattered across the human genome, among which the one located on chromosome 9 appears to be the only functional gene for argininosuccinate synthetase. Mutations in the chromosome 9 copy of this gene cause citrullinemia. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

ASS1 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• citrullinemia type I

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG Submitted by: Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), ClinGen, Myriad Women’s Health, G2P
• acute neonatal citrullinemia type I

  Inheritance: AR Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet
• adult-onset citrullinemia type I

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 8 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_054012.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr9-130464117-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 458673.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 49 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 4 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.75759 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.8061 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to citrullinemia type I, adult-onset citrullinemia type I, acute neonatal citrullinemia type I.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.993
