Genes affected

GLDC (HGNC:4313): (glycine decarboxylase) Degradation of glycine is brought about by the glycine cleavage system, which is composed of four mitochondrial protein components: P protein (a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent glycine decarboxylase), H protein (a lipoic acid-containing protein), T protein (a tetrahydrofolate-requiring enzyme), and L protein (a lipoamide dehydrogenase). The protein encoded by this gene is the P protein, which binds to glycine and enables the methylamine group from glycine to be transferred to the T protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 9-6604643-C-CA is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-6604643-C-CA is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 56035.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Apr 08, 2022	ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56035). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala335Cysfs*75) in the GLDC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GLDC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16601880). This variant is present in population databases (rs386833516, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with glycine encephalopathy (PMID: 16601880). This variant is also known as c.1002_1003insT. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
