Genes affected
GSS (HGNC:4624): (glutathione synthetase) Glutathione is important for a variety of biological functions, including protection of cells from oxidative damage by free radicals, detoxification of xenobiotics, and membrane transport. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a homodimer to catalyze the second step of glutathione biosynthesis, which is the ATP-dependent conversion of gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine to glutathione. Defects in this gene are a cause of glutathione synthetase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Inherited glutathione synthetase deficiency Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 23, 2023This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 219 of the GSS protein (p.Asp219Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs28938472, gnomAD 0.0009%). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Asp219 amino acid residue in GSS. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9215686). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GSS function (PMID: 15056072). Advanced 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 at Invitae 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 GSS protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8531). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with glutathione synthetase deficiency (PMID: 8896573, 11167850, 15717202). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJan 13, 2020Variant summary: GSS c.656A>G (p.Asp219Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Glutathione synthase, substrate-binding domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251476 control chromosomes. c.656A>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Glutathione Synthetase Deficiency (ie. Njalsson_2005, Corrons_2001, Shi_1996). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
