Genes affected
GUSB (HGNC:4696): (glucuronidase beta) This gene encodes a hydrolase that degrades glycosaminoglycans, including heparan sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and chondroitin-4,6-sulfate. The enzyme forms a homotetramer that is localized to the lysosome. Mutations in this gene result in mucopolysaccharidosis type VII. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. There are many pseudogenes of this locus in the human genome.[provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

Mucopolysaccharidosis type 7 Pathogenic:6
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 28, 2017The GUSB c.1069C>T (p.Arg357Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant that has been reported in at least five studies where it is found in a total of nine individuals with mucopolysaccharidosis, type VII, including four in a homozygous state and five in a compound heterozygous state (Shipley et al. 1993; Vervoort et al. 1995; Vervoort et al. 1996; Vervoort et al. 1997; Shamseldin et al. 2015). Three of the homozygous individuals are related, representing a parent and two prenatally diagnosed fetuses. The p.Arg357Ter variant was found to segregate with disease in at least one family (Shipley et al. 1993). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.00003 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium, but this is based on two alleles in a region of good sequencing coverage so the variant is presumed to be rare. Expression of the p.Arg357Ter variant in COS-7 cells resulted in no enzyme activity and analysis of total RNA from cultured fibroblasts revealed reduced amounts of variant mRNA and aberrant bands suggesting aberrant splicing (Shipley et al. 1993; Vervoort et al. 1996). Based on the evidence and the potential impact of stop-gained variants, the p.Arg357Ter variant is classified as pathogenic for mucopolysaccharidosis, type VII. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 20, 2020Variant summary: GUSB c.1069C>T (p.Arg357X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251312 control chromosomes. c.1069C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type VII or related disease (Vervoort_1996, Maddirevula_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence showing that p.Arg357X affects the normal gene function (Vervoort_1996). Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Bothlaboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 22, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg357*) in the GUSB gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GUSB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19224584). This variant is present in population databases (rs121918185, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis VII (PMID: 7680524, 19224584). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 908). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterresearchUNC Molecular Genetics Laboratory, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill-The GUSB c.1069C>T (p.R357*) nonsense variant is predicted to result in nonsense-mediated decay and/or premature termination of the GUSB protein. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with mucopolysaccharidosis VII (PMID: 7680524; 8644704; 19224584). -
