Genes affected
CTNS (HGNC:2518): (cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter) This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane domain protein that functions to transport cystine out of lysosomes. Its activity is driven by the H+ electrochemical gradient of the lysosomal membrane. Mutations in this gene cause cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.004%). Protein truncation variants are a common disease-causing mechanism. Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 12204010). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.97; 3Cnet: 0.94). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000004455). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: CTNS c.1015G>A (p.Gly339Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 251256 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1015G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple compound heterozygote and homozygote individuals affected with Cystinosis (eg- Mason_2003, Rupar_2001). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. A ClinVar submission (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1015G>A (p.Gly339Arg) variant affects a highly conserved amino acid and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to have a deleterious effect on protein function. This variant has been previously reported as a compound heterozygous and homozygous change in individuals with cystinosis (PMID: 9792862, 15128704, 11565547, 28276207, 31570786, 35571017, 12204010, 28983406). The c.1015G>A (p.Gly339Arg) variant is located in the seventh transmembrane domain, which is a known hotspot domain for pathogenic variations associated with nephropathic cystinosis (PMID: 15128704). Functional studies indicate this variant leads to altered subcellular localization of cystinosin and abolished cystine transport (PMID: 15128704, 28983406). The c.1015G>A (p.Gly339Arg) variant is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD v4 population database at a frequency of 0.003% (48/1614118), and is absent in the homozygous state, thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, c.1015G>A (p.Gly339Arg) is classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Gly339Arg variant in CTNS has been reported in >10 individuals with cystinosis and segregated with disease in 2 families (Shotelersuk 1998 PMID: 9792862, Rupar 2001 PMID: 11565547, Kalatzis 2002 PMID: 12442267, Kalatzis 2004 PMID: 15128704, Savostyanov 2022 PMID: 35571017). It was also identified in 0.006% (4/68046) of European chromosomes by gnomAD, v.3 (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), and is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 4455). In vitro funtional studies support an impact on protein function, and leukocyte cystine levels measured in patients were markedly increased (Shotelersuk 1998 PMID: 9792862, Kalatzis 2002 PMID: 12442267, Kalatzis 2004 PMID: 15128704). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may impact the protein. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive cystinosis. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_VeryStrong , PS3, PP1_Moderate, PP3, PP4, PM2_Supporting. -

The CTNS c.1015G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly339Arg. This variant has been reported in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state with a second causative CTNS variant in multiple cystinosis patients (Attard et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10556299; Rupar et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11565547; Shahkarami et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23640116; Soliman et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24464559). The p.Gly339 amino acid is located in the seventh transmembrane domain of the cystinosin protein, and in an in vitro functional study this substitution was reported to abolish cysteine transport (Kalatzis et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 15128704). This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 339 of the CTNS protein (p.Gly339Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908127, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with cystinosis (PMID: 11565547, 12204010, 12825071, 21786142, 23640116). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4455). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CTNS protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CTNS function (PMID: 15128704). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
