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]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 10 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 10-124398076-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr10-124398076-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 149.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr10-124398076-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Pathogenic
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. -
