Genes affected

GLDC (HGNC:4313): (glycine decarboxylase) Degradation of glycine is brought about by the glycine cleavage system, which is composed of four mitochondrial protein components: P protein (a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent glycine decarboxylase), H protein (a lipoic acid-containing protein), T protein (a tetrahydrofolate-requiring enzyme), and L protein (a lipoamide dehydrogenase). The protein encoded by this gene is the P protein, which binds to glycine and enables the methylamine group from glycine to be transferred to the T protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -19 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.36).
• BP6: Variant 9-6620216-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr9-6620216-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 367204.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr9-6620216-C-T is described in Lovd as [Benign].
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.822 with no splicing effect.
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (NFE) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.0904 is higher than 0.05.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
