Genes affected

HGSNAT (HGNC:26527): (heparan-alpha-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase) This gene encodes a lysosomal acetyltransferase, which is one of several enzymes involved in the lysosomal degradation of heparin sulfate. Mutations in this gene are associated with Sanfilippo syndrome C, one type of the lysosomal storage disease mucopolysaccaridosis III, which results from impaired degradation of heparan sulfate.

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 173 of the HGSNAT protein (p.Gly173Asp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis type III (PMID: 27827379, 31228227). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252961). 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 HGSNAT protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects HGSNAT function (PMID: 31228227). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: HGSNAT c.518G>A (p.Gly173Asp) results in a non-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 was absent in 247464 control chromosomes. c.518G>A has been reported in the literature in compound heterozygous and homozygous individuals affected with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIC (Sanfilippo Syndrome C) (e.g. Hu_2017, Martins_2019). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in severely reduced enzyme activity in vitro and in homozygous patient fibroblasts (e.g. Hu_2017, Martins_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27827379, 31228227). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252961). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
