Genes affected
CBS (HGNC:1550): (cystathionine beta-synthase) The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to catalyze the conversion of homocysteine to cystathionine, the first step in the transsulfuration pathway. The encoded protein is allosterically activated by adenosyl-methionine and uses pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. Defects in this gene can cause cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency (CBSD), which can lead to homocystinuria. This gene is a major contributor to cellular hydrogen sulfide production. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: CBS c.304A>C (p.Lys102Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0029 in 251336 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.04 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 15 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 13 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in CBS causing Homocystinuria phenotype (0.003), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.304A>C in individuals affected with Homocystinuria and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:curation

This variant is interpreted as a Benign, for Homocystinuria due to cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency, in Autosomal Recessive manner. The following ACMG Tag(s) were applied: BS1 => Allele frequency is greater than expected for disorder. BS2 => Observed in a healthy adult individual for a recessive (homozygous), dominant (heterozygous), or X-linked (hemizygous) disorder, with full penetrance expected at an early age. BP4 => Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.). -

Significance:Likely benign
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. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
