The NM_000487.6(ARSA):c.413C>T (p.Pro138Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.000000685 (AC=1) in the gnomAD database across 1,459,778 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000116. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV001592679: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ARSA function (PMID:7860068)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.P138T: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 2138466, 1 star) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.P138= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1091637, 1 star); p.P138= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 797462, 1 star)

Genes affected
ARSA (HGNC:713): (arylsulfatase A) The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes cerebroside sulfate to cerebroside and sulfate. Defects in this gene lead to metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD), a progressive demyelination disease which results in a variety of neurological symptoms and ultimately death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 points.

PS3
Well-established functional study supports damaging effect (PS3); SCV001592679: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ARSA function (PMID: 7860068).; SCV002073107: This variant has been reported to affect ARSA protein function (Kafert S et al, 1995).
PM1
Missense neighbourhood hotspot (≥2 P/LP within ±8 AA, OR ≥ 5 vs. background) — PM1; In-domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign rare missense variants.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 8 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 85.0).
PM2
Very rare in gnomAD for AR/unknown gene (popmax AF < threshold/10) — PM2; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.0000116 — very rare for AR gene (threshold 0.001) — PM2 moderate.
PM5
Different pathogenic missense at same AA residue in ClinVar (PM5); ClinVar contains a germline Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic entry at the same amino acid position with a different amino acid change: p.P138T: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 2138466, 1 star); Other variants at the same amino acid residue (not pathogenic): p.P138= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1091637, 1 star); p.P138= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 797462, 1 star)
PP3
Germline meta computational scorer (REVEL/MetaRNN/BayesDel) predicts damaging effect — strong evidence (PP3); Splicing verdict: not pathogenic.; Germline computational verdict: pathogenic (Strong).
PP5
ClinVar 2-star pathogenic — strong (PP5); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 2 star(s).
