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 20 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 14-54847098-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-54847098-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 489338.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.541+1G>T variant in the GCH1 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This splice site variant destroys the canonical splice donor site in intron 4. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. The c.541+1G>T variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret c.541+1G>T as a pathogenic variant. -
