The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.005%). Canonical splice site: predicted to alter splicing and result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000092361). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

The ASL c.446+1G>A variant (rs142637046) is reported in the literature in many individuals with argininosuccinic aciduria (Linnebank 2002, Toquet 2021). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 92361) and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.005% (13/280,896 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). This variant disrupts the canonical splice donor site of intron 6, and experimental evidence found this variant results in the skipping of exon 5 (Linnebank 2002). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Linnebank M et al. Argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) deficiency: mutation analysis in 27 patients and a completed structure of the human ASL gene. Hum Genet. 2002 Oct;111(4-5):350-9. PMID: 12384776. Toquet S et al.

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 6 of the ASL gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ASL are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 2263616, 24166829). This variant is present in population databases (rs142637046, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) deficiency (PMID: 12384776). This variant is also known as IVS5+1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 92361). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Variant summary: The ASL c.446+1G>A variant involves the alteration of a conserved intronic nucleotide that 5/5 splice prediction tools predict a significant impact on splicing, which is supported by a functional study, Linnebank_2002. This variant was found in 6/117678 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000051, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic ASL variant (0.0042258). The variant of interest (legacy name IVS5+1G>A) has been reported in multiple affected individuals as both compound heterozygotes and homozygotes. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

NM_001024943.1(ASL):c.446+1G>A is a canonical splice variant classified as pathogenic in the context of argininosuccinic aciduria. c.446+1G>A has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 12384776). Functional assessments of this variant are available in the literature (PMID: 12384776). c.446+1G>A has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: NFE <0.001%). In summary, NM_001024943.1(ASL):c.446+1G>A is a canonical splice variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, is predicted to disrupt protein function, and has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
