Genes affected

ABAT (HGNC:23): (4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase) 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT) is responsible for catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an important, mostly inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, into succinic semialdehyde. The active enzyme is a homodimer of 50-kD subunits complexed to pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The protein sequence is over 95% similar to the pig protein. GABA is estimated to be present in nearly one-third of human synapses. ABAT in liver and brain is controlled by 2 codominant alleles with a frequency in a Caucasian population of 0.56 and 0.44. The ABAT deficiency phenotype includes psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, lethargy, refractory seizures, and EEG abnormalities. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -18 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.33).
• BP6: Variant 16-8774919-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-8774919-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 321082.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-8774919-C-A is described in Lovd as [Benign].
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (NFE) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.422 is higher than 0.05.

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
