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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg424*) 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 (rs386833521, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with non-ketotic hyperglycemia (PMID: 16601880, 26179960). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56040). 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. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The GLDC c.1270C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg424*). This variant has been reported to be causative for nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH), also referred to as glycine encephalopathy (Conter et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16601880; Coughlin et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27362913). This variant is reported in 0.0054% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in GLDC are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
