Genes affected
GNS (HGNC:4422): (glucosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase) The product of this gene is a lysosomal enzyme found in all cells. It is involved in the catabolism of heparin, heparan sulphate, and keratan sulphate. Deficiency of this enzyme results in the accumulation of undegraded substrate and the lysosomal storage disorder mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID (Sanfilippo D syndrome). Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID is the least common of the four subtypes of Sanfilippo syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg355*) in the GNS gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GNS are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20232353). This variant is present in population databases (rs119461974, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis type III (PMID: 12573255). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2932). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
