Genes affected
KYNU (HGNC:6469): (kynureninase) Kynureninase is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (pyridoxal-P) dependent enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of L-kynurenine and L-3-hydroxykynurenine into anthranilic and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acids, respectively. Kynureninase is involved in the biosynthesis of NAD cofactors from tryptophan through the kynurenine pathway. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.08655222 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.9, offset of 15, new splice context is: ttcatttgatttatcattAGtga. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PP5
Variant 2-142918608-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-142918608-G-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 403729.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This variant was discovered in a consanguineous family of Middle East origin. The patient presented multiple congenital malformations affecting vertebrae, heart, kidney among others. This variant is a protein truncating variant and novel (ExAC MAF 0). The patient is homozygous, while her unaffected parents and four unaffected siblings are either wildtype or heterozygous for this variant. Enzyme assay confirmed that the protein product of this gene variant has lost enzyme activity. Mouse embryos homozygous null for Kynu presented similar phenotype as observed in the patient, and also showed reduced concentration of NAD in the embryonic tissue. -
