Genes affected
GSS (HGNC:4624): (glutathione synthetase) Glutathione is important for a variety of biological functions, including protection of cells from oxidative damage by free radicals, detoxification of xenobiotics, and membrane transport. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a homodimer to catalyze the second step of glutathione biosynthesis, which is the ATP-dependent conversion of gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine to glutathione. Defects in this gene are a cause of glutathione synthetase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: The GSS c.275+20T>G variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide. One in silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 75115/121240 control chromosomes (24686 homozygotes) in ExAC at a frequency of 0.6195563, and is present in as much as 91% in sub-populations (Africa), therefore indicating this variant is the major allele and is a benign polymorphism. In addition, at least one clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -
