Genes affected

ASS1 (HGNC:758): (argininosuccinate synthase 1) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the penultimate step of the arginine biosynthetic pathway. There are approximately 10 to 14 copies of this gene including the pseudogenes scattered across the human genome, among which the one located on chromosome 9 appears to be the only functional gene for argininosuccinate synthetase. Mutations in the chromosome 9 copy of this gene cause citrullinemia. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in ASS1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18473344, 19006241). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with ASS1-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys41Argfs*12) in the ASS1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
