This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000203.5: c.713T>A variant in IDUA is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Leu by Gln at amino acid 238 (p.Leu238Gln). This variant has been detected in at least 18 individuals with MPS I, the majority of whom had phenotypes consistent with a clinical diagnosis of Hurler-Scheie (PMID:32188113, 31839529, 34984346, 26260077, 28125077, and others). All of those individuals were compound heterozygous for the variant and another variant that has been classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases; it is unknown if these variants were confirmed in trans. For example, in compound heterozygous patients, the second variant is p.Gln70Ter (1 patient, 0.5 points, PMID:31194252), p.Trp402Ter (2 patients, 2 x 0.5 points, PMID:31194252), c.386-2A>G (1 patient 0.5 points, PMID:31194252), p.Glu182Lys (1 patient, 0.5 points, PMID:31194252), Int3-2a>g (1 patient, 0.5 points, PMID:31839529) and 63del (one patient, 0.5 points, PMID:31839529)Total 4 points (PM3_VeryStrong). One of these individuals was an adult male with clinical features consistent with MPS I including coarse facial features, joint stiffness, heart murmur, mitral and aortic stenosis, retinal degeneration and optic disc edema, and ventriculomegaly, elevated urine keratan sulfate and dermatan sulfate, undetectable serum IDUA activity (PMID:34984346) (PP4_Moderate). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.00004 (3/74,858 alleles) in the African/African American population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.00025), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). Another missense variant c.713T>C p.Leu238Pro in the same codon has been reported in the ClinVar database in association with MPS I (ClinVar Variation ID 1517837). However, this variant has not yet been evaluated by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP (PM5 not met). Expression of the variant in CHO cells showed 5.88% wild type IDUA activity (PMID:15300847). However, this result does not meet the requirements for use by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP to apply PS3_Supporting criterion because the activity level was above the threshold of <2% established for this assay. The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.904, which is above the threshold of 0.773, evidence that correlates with impact to IDUA function at the moderate level based on the specifications of the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP (PMID:36413997) (PP3_Moderate). There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265418). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for MPS I based on the IDUA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 1.0.0): PM3_Very Strong, PP3_Moderate, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting.(Classification approved by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel on December 6, 2024) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA2802065/MONDO:0001586/091

Mucopolysaccharidosis type 1 Pathogenic:4
This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 238 of the IDUA protein (p.Leu238Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs148789453, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis type I (PMID: 15300847, 24368159; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265418). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt IDUA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Leu238 amino acid residue in IDUA. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with IDUA-related conditions (PMID: 21480867, 24368159), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.00004 (3/74,858 alleles) in the African/African American population, which is lower than the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.00025), meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). Another missense variant c.713T>C p.Leu238Pro in the same codon has been reported in the ClinVar database in association with MPS I (ClinVar Variation ID 1517837).

In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for MPS I based on the IDUA-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Lysosomal Diseases Variant Curation Expert Panel (Specifications Version 1.0.0): PM3_Very Strong, PP3_Moderate, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting.

The p.Leu238Gln variant in IDUA has been reported in at least 7 individuals with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS), segregated with disease in 4 affected relatives from 2 families (PMID: 24368159), and has been Identified in 0.014% (2/13914) of African chromosomes and 0.003% (3/102956) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs148789453). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Leu238Gln variant may impact protein function (PMID: 15300847). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The presence of this variant in combination with reported pathogenic variants in 5 individuals with MPS increases the likelihood that the p.Leu238Gln variant is pathogenic (VariationID: 11908, 222994; PMID: 24368159). The phenotype of individuals compound heterozygous for this variant is highly specific for MPS based on alpha-L-iduronidase activity being <1%, consistent with disease (PMID: 15300847). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for MPS in an autosomal recessive manner based on the presence of the variant in combination with known pathogenic variants, functional studies, cosegregation, and the phenotype of individuals with the variant and MPS being highly specific for IDUA. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_strong, PS3_moderate, PM2_supporting, PP3, PP4, PP1 (Richards 2015). -

Published functional studies demonstrate that the L238Q variant causes reduced IDUA activity and protein levels when expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells (Yogalingam et al., 2004); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15300847, 24368159, 26260077, 31194252) -
IDUA-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The IDUA c.713T>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu238Gln. This variant was reported along with second variant in several individuals with Mucopolysaccharidosis type 1 (Yogalingam et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 15300847; Ahmed et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24368159). In vitro functional study demonstrated that this variant reduces IDUA activity to 5.88% of normal enzyme activity (Table 3, Yogalingam et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 15300847). Alternative variant at the same codon p.Leu238Arg has been observed in an individual with Mucopolysaccharidosis type 1 (Wang et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21480867). This variant is reported in 0.014% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
