Genes affected
ARG1 (HGNC:663): (arginase 1) Arginase catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. At least two isoforms of mammalian arginase exist (types I and II) which differ in their tissue distribution, subcellular localization, immunologic crossreactivity and physiologic function. The type I isoform encoded by this gene, is a cytosolic enzyme and expressed predominantly in the liver as a component of the urea cycle. Inherited deficiency of this enzyme results in argininemia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperammonemia. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
MED23 (HGNC:2372): (mediator complex subunit 23) The activation of gene transcription is a multistep process that is triggered by factors that recognize transcriptional enhancer sites in DNA. These factors work with co-activators to direct transcriptional initiation by the RNA polymerase II apparatus. The protein encoded by this gene is a subunit of the CRSP (cofactor required for SP1 activation) complex, which, along with TFIID, is required for efficient activation by SP1. This protein is also a component of other multisubunit complexes e.g. thyroid hormone receptor-(TR-) associated proteins which interact with TR and facilitate TR function on DNA templates in conjunction with initiation factors and cofactors. This protein also acts as a metastasis suppressor. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingBaylor GeneticsAug 31, 2022- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 27, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 308 of the ARG1 protein (p.Arg308Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs377280518, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with argininemia (PMID: 22959135). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550679). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 03, 2023Variant summary: ARG1 c.923G>A (p.Arg308Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251066 control chromosomes. c.923G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Arginase Deficiency (e.g., Carvalho_2012, Bakirtzis_2021). 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: 34419780, 22959135). Three submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014; two submitters classified the variant as pathogenic and one classified it as a variant of uncertain signficance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
