Genes affected
OAT (HGNC:8091): (ornithine aminotransferase) This gene encodes the mitochondrial enzyme ornithine aminotransferase, which is a key enzyme in the pathway that converts arginine and ornithine into the major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Mutations that result in a deficiency of this enzyme cause the autosomal recessive eye disease Gyrate Atrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. Related pseudogenes have been defined on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the OAT protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg426*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7887415, 23076989). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 149). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with gyrate atrophy (PMID: 1737786). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg396*) in the OAT gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 44 amino acid(s) of the OAT protein. -
