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.667-10_667-7delTTCT alters a nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing (SpliceAI). However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00014 in 251350 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CBS causing Homocystinuria (0.00014 vs 0.003), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.667-10_667-7delTTCT in individuals affected with Homocystinuria and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405377). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

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

The CBS c.667-10_667-7delTTCT variant (rs1060500684), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 405377). This variant is found in the African population with an overall allele frequency of 0.20% (50/24926 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This is an intronic variant that deletes four weakly-to-moderately conserved nucleotides, and computational analyses (Alamut v.2.11) predict that this variant may impact splicing by weakening the nearby canonical acceptor splice site. However, RNA studies would be required to confirm an effect on splicing. Given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the c.667-10_667-7delTTCT variant is uncertain at this time. -
