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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Feb 07, 2023	Variant summary: ASS1 c.256C>T (p.Arg86Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 250884 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in ASS1 causing Citrullinemia Type I (4.4e-05 vs 0.0041), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.256C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous patients (Martin-Hernandez_2014, Zielonka_2019), and in at least one compound heterozygous individual in trans from a pathogenic variant (Kobayashi_1991), with Citrullinemia Type I and associated phenotypes. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function showing residual enzymatic ASS1 activity in a homozygous indivdual was about 5% of wildtype (Zielonka_2019) . Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic (n=3) and likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 30, 2024	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 86 of the ASS1 protein (p.Arg86Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908644, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with citrullinemia type 1 (PMID: 1943692, 25433810). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6332). 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 not expected to disrupt ASS1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ASS1 function (PMID: 1943692). This variant disrupts the p.Arg86 amino acid residue in ASS1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12815590). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
