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]

Citrullinemia type I Pathogenic:5 Other:1

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Mar 12, 2020	Variant summary: ASS1 c.910C>T (p.Arg304Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence and it is predicted to involve in dimer-dimer interaction (Gao_2003). Four 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 251460 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.910C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Citrullinemia Type I (Kobayashi_1995, Gao_2003). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports this variant results in significantly decreasing normal activity (Gao_2003). One ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Citrullinemia Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego	-	This variant has been previously reported as a compound heterozygous change in patients with Citrullinemia (PMID: 7977368, 12815590, 23246278, 28302489). Functional studies have shown that this missense variant affects normal function of ASS1 (PMID: 8792870). The c.910C>T (p.Arg304Trp) variant is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.003% (9/282796) and thus is presumed to be rare. The c.910C>T (p.Arg304Trp) variant affects a weakly conserved amino acid and in silico tools predict a discordant effect on protein function. Based on the available evidence, the c.910C>T (p.Arg304Trp) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 05, 2024	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 304 of the ASS1 protein (p.Arg304Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908642, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with citrullinemia (PMID: 7977368, 12815590, 23246278, 28302489). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6330). 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 ASS1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ASS1 function (PMID: 8792870). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
