ALG6-congenital disorder of glycosylation 1C Pathogenic:4Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 227 of the ALG6 protein (p.Gly227Glu). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 8, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs372079206, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ALG6-related congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMID: 23430515, 27287710). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 381535). 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) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ALG6 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
This variant was determined to be pathogenic according to ACMG Guidelines, 2015 [PMID:25741868]. -
Variant summary: ALG6 c.680G>A (p.Gly227Glu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant weakens the canonical 5' donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 249578 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.680G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with ALG6-related congenital disorder of glycosylation (examples: Schollen_2002, Dercksen_2012, Morava_2016, Clark_2023). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36756224, 23430515, 27287710, 12357336). Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as VUS (n=1) and pathogenic/likely pathogenic (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
NM_013339.3(ALG6):c.680G>A(G227E) is a missense variant classified as a variant of uncertain significance in the context of congenital disorder of glycosylation type Ic. G227E has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 27287710). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. G227E has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: AFR 0.007%). In summary, there is insufficient evidence to classify NM_013339.3(ALG6):c.680G>A(G227E) as pathogenic or benign. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
