Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_000048.4(ASL):​c.545G>C​(p.Arg182Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R182G) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

ASL (HGNC:746): (argininosuccinate lyase) This gene encodes a member of the lyase 1 family. The encoded protein forms a cytosolic homotetramer and primarily catalyzes the reversible hydrolytic cleavage of argininosuccinate into arginine and fumarate, an essential step in the liver in detoxifying ammonia via the urea cycle. Mutations in this gene result in the autosomal recessive disorder argininosuccinic aciduria, or argininosuccinic acid lyase deficiency. A nontranscribed pseudogene is also located on the long arm of chromosome 22. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_000048.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-66086763-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 2735029.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 95 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 10 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.7488 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.388 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to argininosuccinic aciduria.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.972
• PP5: Variant 7-66086764-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-66086764-G-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2747788.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ASL protein function. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg182 amino acid residue in ASL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19703900, 24166829; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a positive newborn screening result for ASL-related disease (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 182 of the ASL protein (p.Arg182Pro).
