Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PVS1PS3PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_054012.4(ASS1):​c.835C>T​(p.Arg279*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000353 in 1,613,902 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV001156647: RNA analysis of this variant in skin fibroblasts from an affected patient demonstrated an RNA-negative allele in which no stable mRNA was detected (Li 2001)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV001156647: RNA analysis of this variant in skin fibroblasts from an affected patient demonstrated an RNA-negative allele in which no stable mRNA was detected (Li 2001).; SCV001338439: No stable mRNA was detected from the allele with the variant in RNA isolated from patient skin fibroblasts, presumably due to nonsense-mediated decay (Li_2001).
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 9-130480446-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-130480446-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 6333.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
