Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000170.3(GLDC):c.1952A>G(p.His651Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,461,864 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H651D) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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 16 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 2 uncertain in NM_000170.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.982
• PP5: Variant 9-6558659-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-6558659-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 56055.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr9-6558659-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr9-6558659-T-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	literature only	Juha Muilu Group; Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM)	-	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Aug 17, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GLDC protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56055). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with GLDC-related conditions (PMID: 27362913). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 651 of the GLDC protein (p.His651Arg). -

The H651R variant in the GLDC gene has been reported previously in association with autosomal recessive nonketotic hyperglycinemia when present in the homozygous state as well as in the heterozygous state in the presence of another nonketotic hyperglycinemia pathogenic gene variant (Conter et al., 2006; Azize et al., 2014). The H651R variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The H651R variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. The H651R variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant. -
