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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: ARSA c.942G>T (p.Glu314Asp) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Two of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.1e-05 in 241008 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.942G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (ML) or features of ML (example: Bohringer_2017 and Herman_2000). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. Multiple publications reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity (example: Bohringer_2017 and Herman_2000). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 314 of the ARSA protein (p.Glu314Asp). This variant is present in population databases (rs199476390, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 10751093). This variant is also known as E312D. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68166). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ARSA protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ARSA function (PMID: 10751093, 28762252). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
