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.970+5G>A alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict that the variant abolishes or weakens a 5' splicing donor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing (e.g. Kobayashi_1995). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251104 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.970+5G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Citrullinemia Type I (e.g. Kobayashi_1995, Haberle_2002, Gao_2003, Diez-Fernandez_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Four other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (PMID_11941481, ClinVar ID: VCV000265962). The variant has been reported to be in trans as homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 7557970, PM3_P). In silico prediction tools predicted that this variant influenced pre-mRNA splicing, resulting in aberrant splicing (SPLICEAI: 0.92>=0.8, PP3_P). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000018, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 13 of the ASS1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ASS1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs372128852, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with classic citrullinemia (PMID: 7557970, 11941481, 16475226; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265962). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
