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]

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 1 Pathogenic:4 Other:1

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 29, 2024	This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 5 of the SOD1 protein (p.Ala5Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs121912442, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 7951249, 8351519, 19176896, 19618436). This variant is also known as p.Ala4Val. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14763). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SOD1 function (PMID: 12482932, 19259395, 19483195, 19800308, 20404329, 21549128, 22094223). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

GenomeConnect staff make no attempt to reinterpret the clinical significance of the variant. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Fulgent Genetics, Fulgent Genetics	Oct 31, 2018	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM	-	The missense variant c.14C>T (p.Ala5Val) has been reported in many individuals affected with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) (Deng et al. 1993, Salameh et al. 2009) and has been reported to segregate with disease in multiple families (Deng et al. 1993). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change impacts SOD1 protein structure and leads to mis-folding and aggregation (Prudencio et al. 2011). It has also been shown to impact cell survival in human embryonic stem cell-derived motor neurons (Karumbayaram et al. 2009). The p.Ala5Val variant is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes and is present in the gnomAD exomes database with a frequency of 0.004%. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. The amino acid Ala at position 5 is changed to a Val changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The residue is conserved across species. The amino acid change p.Ala5Val in SOD1 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Jun 29, 2023	A5V is the most common ALS-associated variant in North America (PMID: 19176896, 18055113, 9029070), therefore, the frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), Cambridge, MA (URL: http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)). At least one other missense variant at this codon is considered to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic, suggesting this variant may also cause disease. This variant is also referred to as A4V in published literature. This variant occurs as the most likely explanation for disease in a significant number of cases, suggesting this variant is associated with disease. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID: 20184893, 19635794, 16945901, 23291526) -

The SOD1 c.14C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala5Val. This variant, previously described as p.Ala4Val using legacy nomenclature, has been repeatedly reported to be causative for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Deng et al. 1993. PubMed ID: 8351519; Saeed et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19176896). The c.14C>T variant has also been interpreted as pathogenic in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/14763/) and is reported in 0.0080% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. We interpret this variant as pathogenic. -
