Genes affected
KYNU (HGNC:6469): (kynureninase) Kynureninase is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (pyridoxal-P) dependent enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of L-kynurenine and L-3-hydroxykynurenine into anthranilic and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acids, respectively. Kynureninase is involved in the biosynthesis of NAD cofactors from tryptophan through the kynurenine pathway. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 30, 2022This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr86Leufs*3) in the KYNU gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in KYNU are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17334708, 28792876, 31923704, 34200361). This variant is present in population databases (rs550079487, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with KYNU-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1324639). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
