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]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg596*) 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 (rs386833531, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (PMID: 16450403, 28302194). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56050). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: GLDC c.1786C>T (p.Arg596X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory and is associated with Non-Ketotic Hyperglycinemia in HGMD. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251482 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1786C>T has been reported in the literature in compound heterozygote and homozygote individuals affected with glycine encephalopathy (Non-Ketotic Hyperglycinemia) (examples: Gao_2017, Kure_2006), bi-allelic neonatal case of multiple congenital anomalies (Wang_2020) and a heterozygous patient with developmental-epileptic encephalopathy (Mitta_2020). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic (n=2)/likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
