The c.1039G>A (G347S) was identified in a patients of Eastern European origin in compound heterozygote with c.526G>A (E176K). Clinical characteristics included lens dislocation and elevated fasting homocysteine. Patients had no intellectual impairment and do not respond to treatment with vitamin B6. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies demonstrate that p.(G347S) is associated with very low levels of residual cystathionine beta-synthase enzyme activity compared to wild-type (PMID: 12124992); In silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22267502, 16205833, 21517828, 24211323, 19914636, 16307898, 19370759, 30202406, 12124992) -

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Pathogenic:1
The p.G347S pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1039G>A), located in coding exon 9 of the CBS gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1039. The glycine at codon 347 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 9 and may have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other CBS variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with homocystinuria (Gaustadnes M et al. Hum. Mutat., 2002 Aug;20:117-26; Lee SJ et al. J. Hum. Genet., 2005 Oct;50:648-54; Katsushima F et al. Mol. Genet. Metab., 2006 Apr;87:323-8; Zschocke J et al. Hum. Mutat., 2009 Jun;30:1021-2; Karaca M et al. Gene, 2014 Jan;534:197-203; Yubero D et al. PLoS ONE, 2016 May;11:e0156359; Alfares AA. Int J Health Sci (Qassim). 2018;12:35-43). In addition, this variant has been reported to result in absence of, or significantly reduced, enzyme activity in various expression systems, and was reported as non-functional in a yeast growth assay (Gaustadnes M et al. Hum. Mutat., 2002 Aug;20:117-26; Mayfield JA et al. Genetics, 2012 Apr;190:1309-23; Lee SJ et al. J. Hum. Genet., 2005 Oct;50:648-54). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, as a missense substitution, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
HYPERHOMOCYSTEINEMIA, THROMBOTIC, CBS-RELATED Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 347 of the CBS protein (p.Gly347Ser). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 11, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs771298943, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with homocystinuria (PMID: 12124992, 16205833, 16307898, 19370759, 24211323). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188801). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CBS function (PMID: 22267502). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Homocystinuria Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: CBS c.1039G>A (p.Gly347Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Pyridoxal-phosphate dependent enzyme domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 30882 control chromosomes. c.1039G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Homocystinuria (Gaustadnes_2002, Lee_2005, Katsushima_2006, Karaca_2014, Yubero_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity (Lee_2005). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
