Genes affected
ASS1 (HGNC:758): (argininosuccinate synthase 1) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the penultimate step of the arginine biosynthetic pathway. There are approximately 10 to 14 copies of this gene including the pseudogenes scattered across the human genome, among which the one located on chromosome 9 appears to be the only functional gene for argininosuccinate synthetase. Mutations in the chromosome 9 copy of this gene cause citrullinemia. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

Variant summary: ASS1 c.298C>T (p.Arg100Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Arginosuccinate synthase-like, N-terminal domain (IPR048267) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.8e-05 in 250394 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in ASS1 causing Citrullinemia Type I (6.8e-05 vs 0.0041), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.298C>T has been reported in the literature along with two pathogenic variants of ASS1 in an individual affected with Citrullinemia Type I. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (in cis with ASS1, p.Arg157His), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28111830). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553910, VUS). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Citrullinemia Uncertain:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 100 of the ASS1 protein (p.Arg100Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs370695114, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with citrullinemia (PMID: 28111830; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553910). 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 not expected to disrupt ASS1 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg100 amino acid residue in ASS1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with ASS1-related conditions (PMID: 28111830), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
