Genes affected

ARSA (HGNC:713): (arylsulfatase A) The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes cerebroside sulfate to cerebroside and sulfate. Defects in this gene lead to metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD), a progressive demyelination disease which results in a variety of neurological symptoms and ultimately death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 19 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 12 uncertain in NM_000487.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr22-50626250-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 68154.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 159 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 11 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.38013 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.56919 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to metachromatic leukodystrophy, juvenile form, metachromatic leukodystrophy.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.975
• PP5: Variant 22-50626249-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-50626249-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 68155.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 295 of the ARSA protein (p.Gly295Asp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 15026521). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as G293D. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68155). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ARSA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Gly295 amino acid residue in ARSA. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15326627, 18786133). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

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). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
