Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BS2
This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_005629.4:c.1714G>A variant in SLC6A8 is a missense variant predicted to cause the substitution of a valine by a methionine at amino acid position 572 (p.Val572Met). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature and no functional studies are available. In gnomAD v4.1.0, the highest population minor allele frequency MAF) is 0.0000369 (33/894244 alleles, 12 hemizygotes) in the European (Non-Finnish) population. This MAF is greater than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PM2_Supporting (<0.00002) but less than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for BS1 (>0.0002), such that neither of these criteria are met. There are 14 hemizygotes in gnomAD v4.1.0. (12 in the European non-Finnish, one in the "other" and one in the S. Asian population) (BS2). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.689, which is less than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for PP3 (>0.75) but greater than the ClinGen CCDS VCEP’s threshold for BP4 (<0.2), such that neither of these criteria are met. There is a ClinVar entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449188). Due to the presence of 14 hemizygotes in gnomAD v4.1.0, the consensus of the CCDS VCEP is to classify this variant as likely benign for creatine transporter deficiency, a severe, pediatric onset neurodevelopmental disorder.

not provided Uncertain:1
A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the SLC6A8 gene. The V572M variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The V572M variant is observed in 6/35470 (0.02%) alleles from individuals of European background, including 3 unrelated hemizygous individuals in the ExAC dataset (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The V572M variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Valine are tolerated across species. However. in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
