Genes affected
HLCS (HGNC:4976): (holocarboxylase synthetase) This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the binding of biotin to carboxylases and histones. The protein plays an important role in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis and branched chain amino acid catabolism. Defects in this gene are the cause of holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val512Cysfs*65) in the HLCS gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in HLCS are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16134170). This variant is present in population databases (rs767533946, gnomAD 0.009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a mitochondrial disorder (PMID: 24215330). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 370850). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This frameshifting variant in exon 9 of 12 introduces a premature stop codon and is therefore predicted to result in loss of normal protein function. This variant has been previously reported as a heterozygous change in two patients with suspected metabolic disease (PMID 24215330, 27604308) and classified in the ClinVar database as Likely Pathogenic by a clinical laboratory (Variation ID: 370850). It is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.001% (15/277210) and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.1533dup, p.Val512CysfsTer65 variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1533dupT (p.V512Cfs*65) alteration, located in exon 9 (coding exon 6) of the HLCS gene, consists of a duplication of T at position 1533, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 65 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This alteration has been reported in the heterozygous state along with two other HLCS variants in a patient diagnosed with holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency; however, parental testing to determine the phase of these variants was not available (Reid, 2016). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
