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]

Inherited glutathione synthetase deficiency Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMar 19, 2023This variant is present in population databases (rs121909309, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 283 of the GSS protein (p.Arg283Cys). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with glutathione synthetase deficiency (PMID: 8896573, 15717202). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GSS function (PMID: 8896573, 15056072). 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: 8528). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 27, 2023Variant summary: GSS c.847C>T (p.Arg283Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Glutathione synthase, substrate-binding domain (IPR004887) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251404 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.847C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple bi-allelic individuals affected with Glutathione Synthetase Deficiency (example: Njalsson_2005). 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. The most pronounced variant effect results in 10% of normal activity (example: Njalsson_2005). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
