Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000454.5(SOD1):​c.115C>G​(p.Leu39Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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. L39R) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

SOD1 (HGNC:11179): (superoxide dismutase 1) The protein encoded by this gene binds copper and zinc ions and is one of two isozymes responsible for destroying free superoxide radicals in the body. The encoded isozyme is a soluble cytoplasmic protein, acting as a homodimer to convert naturally-occuring but harmful superoxide radicals to molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The other isozyme is a mitochondrial protein. In addition, this protein contains an antimicrobial peptide that displays antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-MRSA activity against E. coli, E. faecalis, S. aureus, S. aureus MRSA LPV+, S. agalactiae, and yeast C. krusei. Mutations in this gene have been implicated as causes of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Rare transcript variants have been reported for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

SOD1 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] (size 152) in uniprot entity SODC_HUMAN there are 55 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (98%) in NM_000454.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.996
• PP5: Variant 21-31663832-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr21-31663832-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 14753.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 1 Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Feb 18, 2022	This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 39 of the SOD1 protein (p.Leu39Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs121912432, gnomAD 0.0009%). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SOD1 function (PMID: 19196430, 19635794, 20184893, 20404910). 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 SOD1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14753). This variant is also known as Leu38Val. This missense change has been observed in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 8446170, 9029070, 23100398, 28291249). -

not provided Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Aug 08, 2023	The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with autosomal dominant ALS. In some published literature, this variant is referred to as p.Leu38Val. At least one other missense variant at this codon is considered to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function.
