Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM2_Supporting PP4 PM3_Supporting PVS1_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000203.5:c.928C>T (p.Gln310Ter) variant in IDUA is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant exon 7 out of 14, leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism. However, RT-PCR product showed a "doublet" with an upper band slightly larger than the normal band (505bp). Part of the mRNA was spliced from intron 5 to include 28nt of intronic sequence, indicating use of a cryptic splice site. This alternative splicing was said to create a frameshift and an open reading frame until exon 9. Since RT-PCR appears to show a near complete proportion of alternatively spliced transcript, the strength of PVS1 was reduced by 1 level to strong (PVS1_Strong; PMID:8328452). This variant has been detected in at least 1 individual with MPS I. This individual was homozygous for the variant (PMID:8328452; PM3_Supporting). At least 1 patient with this variant had clinical features specific to MPS I including dysostosis multiplex, corneal opacities, hepatosplenomegaly, and arthropathy (PMID:8328452; PP4). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.0. is 0.0000008630 (1/1158762 alleles) in the European non-Finnish population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.00025), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). To our knowledge, the results of functional assays have not been reported for this variant. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11915, 0 star review status) with 1 submitter classifying the variant as pathogenic; however this submitter is OMIM. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for MPS I based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert panel (Specifications Version 1.0.0): PVS1_Strong, PM3_Supporting, PP4, PM2_Supporting.(Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel on March 3, 2025) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA256115/MONDO:0001586/091

Genes affected

IDUA (HGNC:5391): (alpha-L-iduronidase) This gene encodes an enzyme that hydrolyzes the terminal alpha-L-iduronic acid residues of two glycosaminoglycans, dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate. This hydrolysis is required for the lysosomal degradation of these glycosaminoglycans. Mutations in this gene that result in enzymatic deficiency lead to the autosomal recessive disease mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
