Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_003060.4(SLC22A5):c.505C>T(p.Arg169Trp) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000246 in 1,461,866 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 (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R169Q) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Apr 20, 2018 | Variant summary: SLC22A5 c.505C>T (p.Arg169Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Major facilitator superfamily domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was observed with an allele frequency of 4.1e-06 in 246214 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.505C>T, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Systemic Primary Carnitine Deficiency (Frigeni_2017, Han_2014, Li_2010). Reported patients were found to have a significantly decreased transport activity (Frigeni_2017). A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as "pathogenic." Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories | Aug 01, 2019 | The SLC22A5 c.505C>T; p.Arg169Trp variant (rs121908890) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with primary carnitine deficiency (PCD), either in the homozygous state or in compound heterozygotes carrying a second pathogenic variant (Frigeni 2017, Lamhonwah 2002, Wang 2000). This variant is found on a single chromosome in the Genome Aggregation Database (1/251448 alleles), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The arginine at codon 169 is highly conserved and is located in the glucose transporter signature motif implicated in transport activity (Wang 2000, Lamhonwah 2002). Consistent with this, functional studies indicate that the p.Arg169Trp variant exhibits substantially reduced carnitine transport activity in cultured cells and homozygous patient fibroblasts (Frigeni 2017, Wang 2000). Additionally, other amino acid substitutions at this codon (p.Arg169Gln, p.Arg169Pro) have been reported in individuals with PCD and are considered disease-causing (Frigeni 2017, Burwinkel 1999). Based on available information, the p.Arg169Trp variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Burwinkel B et al.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 12, 2024 | This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 169 of the SLC22A5 protein (p.Arg169Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908890, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with carnitine deficiency. Cultured skin fibroblasts collected from these individuals showed low carnitine uptake levels (PMID: 11058897, 12210323, 23090741, 28841266). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6422). 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 SLC22A5 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SLC22A5 function (PMID: 11058897). This variant disrupts the p.Arg169 amino acid residue in SLC22A5. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10425211, 20574985, 23090741). 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. - |
