Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM2PP3_Strong
The NM_006859.4(LIAS):c.218G>C(p.Arg73Thr) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000019 in 1,581,418 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R73G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Lipoic acid synthetase deficiency Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 73 of the LIAS protein (p.Arg73Thr). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 2, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LIAS-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 472878). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
