Genes affected
ABAT (HGNC:23): (4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase) 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT) is responsible for catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an important, mostly inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, into succinic semialdehyde. The active enzyme is a homodimer of 50-kD subunits complexed to pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The protein sequence is over 95% similar to the pig protein. GABA is estimated to be present in nearly one-third of human synapses. ABAT in liver and brain is controlled by 2 codominant alleles with a frequency in a Caucasian population of 0.56 and 0.44. The ABAT deficiency phenotype includes psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, lethargy, refractory seizures, and EEG abnormalities. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Submissions by phenotype

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 23, 2024The c.44A>T (p.Q15L) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the ABAT gene. This alteration results from a A to T substitution at nucleotide position 44, causing the glutamine (Q) at amino acid position 15 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Gamma-aminobutyric acid transaminase deficiency Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpApr 09, 2022This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 15 of the ABAT protein (p.Gln15Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs375337638, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ABAT-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1005042). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
