Genes affected

GSS (HGNC:4624): (glutathione synthetase) Glutathione is important for a variety of biological functions, including protection of cells from oxidative damage by free radicals, detoxification of xenobiotics, and membrane transport. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a homodimer to catalyze the second step of glutathione biosynthesis, which is the ATP-dependent conversion of gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine to glutathione. Defects in this gene are a cause of glutathione synthetase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a binding_site (size 3) in uniprot entity GSHB_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000178.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.991
• PP5: Variant 20-34935611-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-34935611-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 8527.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GSS function (PMID: 8896573, 10861239, 30581542). 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 GSS protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8527). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with glutathione synthetase deficiency (PMID: 8896573, 11445798). This variant is present in population databases (rs121909308, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 267 of the GSS protein (p.Arg267Trp). This variant disrupts the p.Arg267 amino acid residue in GSS. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with GSS-related conditions (PMID: 31198081), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
