Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 08, 2024 | This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 455 of the ALPL protein (p.Gly455Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs149889416, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hypophosphatasia (PMID: 15135428, 17719863, 25731960, 25736332, 27179278). This variant is also known as G438S. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371400). 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 ALPL protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ALPL function (PMID: 17719863). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Jan 30, 2023 | Published functional studies of residual alkaline phosphatase activity compared to wildtype yield inconsistent results (Brun-Heath et al., 2007; Fauvert et al., 2009; Cundy et al., 2015; Del Angel et al., 2020); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 17719863, 15135428, 27179278, 25736332, 18328985, 19500388, 25731960, 32160374, 31589614) - |
Likely pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System | - | The ALPL p.Gly455Ser variant has been identified in multiple publications in association with hypophosphatasia (HPP). A case study of a stillborn patient with severe skeletal symptoms consistent with perinantal lethal HPP with compound heterozgyous mutations in the ALPL gene including the G455S variant inherited paternally and a R428P variant interited maternally; ALP enzymatic activity in serum of the father with the G455S variant was 50U/l (reference range: 40-150 U/l), suggesting normal enzyme activity however on the lower end (Olech_2016_PMID: 27179278). Another case study of a patient with progressive renal failure leading to bone pain and multiple fractures revealed that he was compound heterozygous for the G455S variant as well as a T117H ALPL variant. Functional studies of the G455S variant demonstrated normal enzymatic activity compared to wildtype which was then impaired when extracellular phosphate concentrations were increased; this change in phosphate concentration did not affect wildtype activity suggesting a genetic and environmental component to the phenotype (Cundy_2015_PMID: 25736332). A functional study by Brun-Health et al. (2007) showed abnormal cellular localization of the G455S ALPL mutant construct compared to wildtype (Brun-Heath_2007_PMID: 17719863). This variant was identified in 1/105 patients with HPP in the compound heterozygous state; the patient with this variant was determined to have mild childhood HPP (Whyte_2015_PMID: 25731960). The p.G455S variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs149889416) and in Clinvar (classified as likely pathogenic by Counsyl for infantile hypophosphatasia). The variant was not identified in Cosmic or LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in control databases in 11 of 245118 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000045 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following population: European (non-Finnish) in 11 of 109950 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001); it was not observed in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), Other and South Asian populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, and GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. The p.Gly455 residue is conserved in mammals but not more distantly related organisms and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, and MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more pathogenic role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely pathogenic. - |
