Genes affected

ASS1 (HGNC:758): (argininosuccinate synthase 1) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the penultimate step of the arginine biosynthetic pathway. There are approximately 10 to 14 copies of this gene including the pseudogenes scattered across the human genome, among which the one located on chromosome 9 appears to be the only functional gene for argininosuccinate synthetase. Mutations in the chromosome 9 copy of this gene cause citrullinemia. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a strand (size 7) in uniprot entity ASSY_HUMAN there are 7 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_054012.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.996
• PP5: Variant 9-130494983-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-130494983-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 847892.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=1}. Variant chr9-130494983-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine with glycine at codon 363 of the ASS1 protein (p.Arg363Gly). The arginine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and glycine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in an individual affected with citrullinemia type I (PMID: 28111830). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant disrupts the p.Arg363 amino acid residue in ASS1. Another variant that disrupt this residue has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16124451, 28111830, 26117549, 2358466, 14680976, 12815590, 25537548). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: ASS1 c.1087C>G (p.Arg363Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence, altering a highly conserved amino acid in a mutational hot spot, and other missense variants affecting this and nearby amino acids (R363Q/L/W, G362V) are found in association with Citrullinaemia (HGMD). One of these variants (c.1087C>T, p.Arg363Trp) has been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory, while another (c.1088G>A, p.Arg363Gln) is classified as pathogenic/likely pathogenic in ClinVar based on several other labs. These suggest the variant likely effects a functionally important region of the protein. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250206 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1087C>G has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with severe Citrullinemia Type 1 (Gao_2003, Dies-Fernandez_2017), and this patient was reported as compound heterozygous with another (likely) pathogenic truncating variant. This suggests the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted a clinical-significance assessment for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, classifying the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
