Genes affected

GLDC (HGNC:4313): (glycine decarboxylase) Degradation of glycine is brought about by the glycine cleavage system, which is composed of four mitochondrial protein components: P protein (a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent glycine decarboxylase), H protein (a lipoic acid-containing protein), T protein (a tetrahydrofolate-requiring enzyme), and L protein (a lipoamide dehydrogenase). The protein encoded by this gene is the P protein, which binds to glycine and enables the methylamine group from glycine to be transferred to the T protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 802 of the GLDC protein (p.Ala802Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs121964977, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with nonketotic hyperglycinemia (PMID: 15236413, 27362913). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11987). 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 GLDC protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GLDC function (PMID: 15236413). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: significantly diminished glycine decarboxylase activity compared to wild type (PMID: 15236413); A different missense change at this residue (A802E) has been reported in published literature (PMID: 26179960); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28325525, 15236413, 15272469, 26749113, 29232014, 21411353, 27362913, 35095998) -
