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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Across a selection of the available literature, the GLDC c.1166C>T (p.Ala389Val) variant has been identified 25 patients with glycine encephalopathy, including in a homozygous state in 11 patients and in a compound heterozygous state in 14 patients (Applegarth et al. 2004; Dinopoulos et al. 2005; Kure et al. 2006; Swanson et al. 2015; Coughlin et al. 2016). The variant has also been identified in four unaffected family members (Dinopoulos et al. 2005). The p.Ala389Val variant was absent from 300 controls and is reported at a frequency of 0.00006 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. The Ala389 residue is conserved. Functional expression studies in COS-7 cells showed that the variant enzyme retained from 7.9% to over 10% of the wild type enzymatic activity which may explain the mild phenotype (Dinopoulos et al. 2005; Swanson et al. 2015). The Ala389 residue is highly conserved. Based on the collective evidence, the p. Ala389Val variant is classified as pathogenic for glycine encephalopathy. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

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 389 of the GLDC protein (p.Ala389Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs121964979, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with glycine encephalopathy (PMID: 15824356, 16450403, 26179960, 26749113). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11989). 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 GLDC protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GLDC function (PMID: 15824356, 26179960). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1166C>T (p.Ala389Val) variant affects a highly conserved amino acid and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to have a deleterious effect on protein function. This variant has been previously reported as a compound heterozygous and homozygous change in individuals with glycine encephalopathy (PMID: 16450403, 26749113, 26179960, 32421718). Functional studies indicate this variant may lead to reduced enzyme activity (PMID: 26179960). The c.1166C>T (p.Ala389Val) variant is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD v4 population database at a frequency of 0.002% (25/1605198) and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, c.1166C>T (p.Ala389Val) is classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1166C>T (p.A389V) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 9) of the GLDC gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1166, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 389 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.003% (9/282552) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.007% (9/128976) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other GLDC variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with autosomal recessive GLDC-related glycine encephalopathy; in at least one instance, the variants were identified in trans (Kure, 2006; Swanson, 2015; Dinopoulos, 2005). 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. -
