The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.002%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through protein truncation. The predicted truncated protein may be shortened by more than 10%. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000002388 /PMID: 1598908). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg291*) in the ARG1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 32 amino acid(s) of the ARG1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs104893940, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with arginase deficiency (PMID: 1598908, 19052914, 24103480; 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: 2388). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts a region of the ARG1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Lys313Serfs*22) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
