Genes affected

ARG1 (HGNC:663): (arginase 1) Arginase catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. At least two isoforms of mammalian arginase exist (types I and II) which differ in their tissue distribution, subcellular localization, immunologic crossreactivity and physiologic function. The type I isoform encoded by this gene, is a cytosolic enzyme and expressed predominantly in the liver as a component of the urea cycle. Inherited deficiency of this enzyme results in argininemia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperammonemia. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

ARG1 links:

MED23 (HGNC:2372): (mediator complex subunit 23) The activation of gene transcription is a multistep process that is triggered by factors that recognize transcriptional enhancer sites in DNA. These factors work with co-activators to direct transcriptional initiation by the RNA polymerase II apparatus. The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the CRSP (cofactor required for SP1 activation) complex, which, along with TFIID, is required for efficient activation by SP1. This protein is also a component of other multisubunit complexes e.g. thyroid hormone receptor-(TR-) associated proteins which interact with TR and facilitate TR function on DNA templates in conjunction with initiation factors and cofactors. This protein also acts as a metastasis suppressor. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 4 of the ARG1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ARG1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7649538, 12052859). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.03%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of ARG1-related conditions (PMID: 21802329, 26169240). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419876). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters ARG1 gene expression (PMID: 26169240). 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. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.003%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Canonical splice site: predicted to alter splicing and result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function. Multiple pathogenic loss-of-function variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000419876 /PMID: 21802329). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The ARG1 c.466-1G>C variant is predicted to disrupt the AG splice acceptor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant was seen homozygous in two patients with autosomal recessive ARG1-related disease (Patient 6, Table 1, Jain-Ghai et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21802329, Villegas-Ruiz et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26169240). This variant is reported in 0.023% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters ARG1 gene expression (Villegas-Ruiz et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26169240). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
