Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_006907.4(PYCR1):c.355C>T(p.Arg119Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000491 in 1,609,746 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R119G) has been classified as Pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 119 of the PYCR1 protein (p.Arg119Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs121918376, gnomAD 0.08%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with cutis laxa (PMID: 23963297, 24035636, 30450527). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 488456). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PYCR1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PYCR1 function (PMID: 25865492). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: decreased protein levels observed in transfected cells, compared to wild type, suggesting the variant is associated with protein instability (Nakayama et al., 2015); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30450527, 23963297, 28294978, Tramontana 2021[Case report], 35599849, 24035636, 25865492, 33771508) -

The PYCR1 c.355C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg119Cys. This variant was reported in individuals presenting with autosomal recessive cutis laxa (Table 2, Dimopoulou et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24035636; Table 2, Gardeitchik et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23963297). It has also been reported in the homozygous state in individuals with microcephaly, hypomyelination, hypotonia, and developmental and white matter anomalies (Nakayama et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25865492; Individual 6, Lessel et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30450527). This variant is reported in 0.049% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
Cutis laxa Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: PYCR1 c.355C>T (p.Arg119Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in 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 5.7e-05 in 246662 control chromosomes. c.355C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Cutis Laxa - PYCR1 Related phenotypes (Example: Dimopoulou_2013, Gardeitchik_2014, Lessel_2018 and Nakayama_2015). 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, indicating less than 2% cell activity compared to Wildtype in lymphoblastoid cell lines (Nakayama_2015). Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
