Genes affected
HMBS (HGNC:4982): (hydroxymethylbilane synthase) This gene encodes a member of the hydroxymethylbilane synthase superfamily. The encoded protein is the third enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway and catalyzes the head to tail condensation of four porphobilinogen molecules into the linear hydroxymethylbilane. Mutations in this gene are associated with the autosomal dominant disease acute intermittent porphyria. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

Variant summary: HMBS c.500G>A (p.Arg167Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the N-terminal domain (IPR022417) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. In addition, this variant disrupts the second nucleotide of exon 9, and therefore can affect splicing. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant weakens a 3' acceptor site. Two predict the variant creates a 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.5e-05 in 156322 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.500G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Acute Intermittent Porphyria (e.g., Delfau_1990, Chen_1994, vonBrasch_2004, Floderus_2002). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that the variant results in <10% of specific activity relative to wild type (e.g, Delfau_1990, Gill_2009). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 7962538, 2243128, 12372055, 19207107, 15003823). Three submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 167 of the HMBS protein (p.Arg167Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs118204095, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant acute intermittent porphyria (PMID: 2243128, 7962538, 9199558, 12372055, 15003823). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1446). 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 disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects HMBS function (PMID: 2243128, 12773194, 27539938). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant disrupts the p.Arg167 amino acid residue in HMBS. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7962538, 11055586, 12372055, 15003823, 15643298, 23815679, 27539938). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
