Genetic Variant ASPA:p.Gly274Arg (chr17-3498966-G-A) – ACMG Classification: Pathogenic (17 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000049.4(ASPA):c.820G>A(p.Gly274Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000167 in 1,613,866 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G274E) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

ASPA (HGNC:756): (aspartoacylase) This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of N-acetyl_L-aspartic acid (NAA) to aspartate and acetate. NAA is abundant in the brain where hydrolysis by aspartoacylase is thought to help maintain white matter. This protein is an NAA scavenger in other tissues. Mutations in this gene cause Canavan disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including fertilization; gamete generation; and meiosis I cell cycle process. Predicted to be located in chromosome.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points.

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PM5

Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr17-3498967-G-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 1478536.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 48 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 6 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.47868 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.2423 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Canavan disease, mild Canavan disease, severe Canavan disease.

PP3

MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.99

PP5

Variant 17-3498966-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-3498966-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 188788.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
