Genes affected
GNAS (HGNC:4392): (GNAS complex locus) This locus has a highly complex imprinted expression pattern. It gives rise to maternally, paternally, and biallelically expressed transcripts that are derived from four alternative promoters and 5' exons. Some transcripts contain a differentially methylated region (DMR) at their 5' exons, and this DMR is commonly found in imprinted genes and correlates with transcript expression. An antisense transcript is produced from an overlapping locus on the opposite strand. One of the transcripts produced from this locus, and the antisense transcript, are paternally expressed noncoding RNAs, and may regulate imprinting in this region. In addition, one of the transcripts contains a second overlapping ORF, which encodes a structurally unrelated protein - Alex. Alternative splicing of downstream exons is also observed, which results in different forms of the stimulatory G-protein alpha subunit, a key element of the classical signal transduction pathway linking receptor-ligand interactions with the activation of adenylyl cyclase and a variety of cellular reponses. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Mutations in this gene result in pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a, pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b, Albright hereditary osteodystrophy, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism, McCune-Albright syndrome, progressive osseus heteroplasia, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone, and some pituitary tumors.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 15, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 201 of the GNAS protein (p.Arg201His). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with McCune–Albright syndrome, as a somatic mosaic variant (PMID: 15126527, 27506760). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 15934). 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 GNAS protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingClinical Genomics Laboratory, Washington University in St. LouisOct 12, 2023The GNAS c.602G>A (p.Arg201His) variant was identified at an allelic fraction consistent with somatic origin. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with McCune-Albright syndrome (Pienkowski C et al., PMID: 9343290; Chevalier N et al., PMID: 26321108; Elli FM et al., PMID: 31620168; Román R et al., PMID: 15289771; Lumbroso S et al., PMID: 15126527; Cho EK et al., PMID: 27506760). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a germline pathogenic by multiple submitters (ClinVar ID: 15934). This variant is only observed on 2/152134 alleles in the general population (gnomAD v3.1.2), indicating it is not a common variant. Another variant in the same codon, c.601C>T (p.Arg201Cys), has been reported in multiple affected individuals with McCune-Albright syndrome and is considered pathogenic (Lumbroso S et al., PMID: 15126527; Cho EK et al., PMID: 27506760; ClinVar ID: 15933). The GNAS c.602G>A (p.Arg201His) variant resides within a G-alpha domain, amino acids 41-388, of GNAS that is defined as a critical functional domain (Weinstein LS et al., PMID: 11588148; Tesmer JJ et al., PMID: 9417641). Computational predictors indicate that the variant is damaging, evidence that correlates with impact on GNAS function. Based on an internally developed protocol informed by the ACMG/AMP guidelines (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), the GNAS c.602G>A (p.Arg201His) variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 30, 2024The c.602G>A (p.R201H) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the GNAS gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 602, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 201 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of 0.002% (4/251454) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.01% (1/10078) of Ashkenazi Jewish alleles. This variant was reported in multiple individuals, and as mosaic in some with clinical features such as cafe au lait spots, premature menstruation, neonatal Cushing syndrome, thyroid disease, and others, all consistent with McCune Albright syndrome (Collins, 2003; Lumbroso, 2004; Lourenço, 2015; Coles, 2019). Two other alterations at the same codon, c.601C>A (p.R201S), c.601C>T (p.R201C), and c.601C>G (p.R201G), have been described in individuals with clinical features consistent with McCune Albright syndrome (Riminucci, 1999; Lumbroso, 2004; Jour, 2016). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingDASAJan 05, 2022The c.602G>A;p.(Arg201His) missense variant has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Clinvar ID: 15934; PMID: 25719192; 25157968; 24855271; 23536913; 21835143; 16507630; 15126527; 12727968) - PS4. Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies support a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 23403822; 1517386) - PS3_moderate. The variant is present at low allele frequencies population databases (rs121913495– gnomAD 0.0001315%; ABraOM no frequency - http://abraom.ib.usp.br/) - PM2_supporting. Pathogenic missense variant in this residue have been reported (Clivar ID: 210045) - PM5. Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product - PP3. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. -
