Genes affected
AGXT (HGNC:341): (alanine--glyoxylate aminotransferase) This gene is expressed only in the liver and the encoded protein is localized mostly in the peroxisomes, where it is involved in glyoxylate detoxification. Mutations in this gene, some of which alter subcellular targetting, have been associated with type I primary hyperoxaluria. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: AGXT c.466G>A (p.Gly156Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Aminotransferase class V domain (IPR000192) of 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 3.1e-05 in 226862 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.466G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (e.g. Pirulli_1999, Monico_2007, Williams_2007, Nagara_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrated the variant to exhibit loss of activity, failure of dimerization and sensitivity to proteasomal degradation (Coulter-Mackie_2006, Williams_2007). Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 156 of the AGXT protein (p.Gly156Arg). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hyperoxaluria (PMID: 17460142, 23810941, 27935012). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5650). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt AGXT protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects AGXT function (PMID: 16971151, 17495019). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
