Genes affected

GCH1 (HGNC:4193): (GTP cyclohydrolase 1) This gene encodes a member of the GTP cyclohydrolase family. The encoded protein is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) biosynthesis, catalyzing the conversion of GTP into 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate. BH4 is an essential cofactor required by aromatic amino acid hydroxylases as well as nitric oxide synthases. Mutations in this gene are associated with malignant hyperphenylalaninemia and dopa-responsive dystonia. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described; however, not all variants give rise to a functional enzyme. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 14-54845767-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-54845767-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 449485.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Experimental studies have shown that this disruption of this splice site affects GCH1 protein function (PMID: 9749603). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with skipping of exon 5, which introduces a frameshift (PMID: 9749603). However the mRNA is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with dystonia (PMID: 19491146, 9749603, 15303002). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449485). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 5 of the GCH1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely disrupts the C-terminus of the protein. -
