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]

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

Variant summary: GLDC c.2614A>T (p.Lys872X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. A truncation downstream of this position has been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (c.2891dupA (p.Tyr964X)). The variant was absent in 246210 control chromosomes (in gnomAD). c.2614A>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Glycine Encephalopathy (Non-Ketotic Hyperglycinemia) (Coughlin 2017). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys872*) in the GLDC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GLDC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16601880). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia (PMID: 27362913). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 462877). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

This nonsense variant found in exon 22 of 25 is predicted to result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This variant has been previously reported together with a second variant in GLDC in two individuals with nonketotic hyperglycinemia (PMID: 27362913). In particular, in one individual, the c.2614A>T was in trans with a two exon deletion (PMID: 27362913). It is absent from the gnomAD population database and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.2614A>T (p.Lys872Ter) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
