Genes affected
ABAT (HGNC:23): (4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase) 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT) is responsible for catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an important, mostly inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, into succinic semialdehyde. The active enzyme is a homodimer of 50-kD subunits complexed to pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The protein sequence is over 95% similar to the pig protein. GABA is estimated to be present in nearly one-third of human synapses. ABAT in liver and brain is controlled by 2 codominant alleles with a frequency in a Caucasian population of 0.56 and 0.44. The ABAT deficiency phenotype includes psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, lethargy, refractory seizures, and EEG abnormalities. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Gamma-aminobutyric acid transaminase deficiency Uncertain:2
Aug 15, 2022
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 425 of the ABAT protein (p.Arg425Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs368127499, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ABAT-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 572999). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The glutamine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -

Pittsburgh Clinical Genomics Laboratory, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence variant is a single nucleotide substitution (G>A) at position 1274 of the coding sequence of the ABAT gene that results in a arginine to glutamine amino acid change at residue 425 of the GABA-transamise enzyme, the ABAT encoded protein. This is a previously reported variant (ClinVar) that has not been observed in individuals with ABAT-related disorders in the published literature, to our knowledge. This variant is rare in control population datasets (gnomAD database 18 of 282,856 alleles, 0.006%). Multiple bioinformatic tools provide conflicting predictions concerning the impact of this variant on the structure and function of GABA-transamise. The Arg425 is moderately conserved, though the altertive residue Gln425 has been observed in several vertebrate species. Studies examining the functiol consequence of this variant have not been published, to our knowledge. At this time, there is insufficient evidence to determine if this variant is pathogenic or benign. Therefore, we consider this a variant of uncertain significance. ACMG Criteria: BP5, PM2 -

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Dec 22, 2024
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1274G>A (p.R425Q) alteration is located in exon 15 (coding exon 14) of the ABAT gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1274, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 425 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
