Genes affected

CBS (HGNC:1550): (cystathionine beta-synthase) The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to catalyze the conversion of homocysteine to cystathionine, the first step in the transsulfuration pathway. The encoded protein is allosterically activated by adenosyl-methionine and uses pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. Defects in this gene can cause cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency (CBSD), which can lead to homocystinuria. This gene is a major contributor to cellular hydrogen sulfide production. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.004730016).
• BP6: Variant 21-43053893-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr21-43053893-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 212869.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr21-43053893-C-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_benign].

Classic homocystinuria Benign:3

Apr 27, 2017

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Variant summary: CBS c.1643G>A (p.Arg548Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0016 in 249094 control chromosomes, including one homozygote, and predominantly at a frequency of 0.0025 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is approximately equal to the maximum frequency estimated for a pathogenic variant in CBS causing Homocystinuria (0.0025 vs 0.003), suggesting the variant could be a benign polymorphism found primarily in individuals of Non-Finnish European ancestry. c.1643G>A has been reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in an individual affected with Homocystinuria in whom no other CBS variants were identified (Urreizti_2006). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Homocystinuria. A functional study found the variant retained approximately 60% of WT activity, responded to cofactor and allosteric activator similar to the WT enzyme, and was able to form tetramers in vitro (Urreizti_2006). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16429402).ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 212869). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
