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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF. No scorers claiming Uncertain. Scorers claiming Benign: max_spliceai.
• PP5: Variant 9-6536059-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-6536059-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2136733.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr9-6536059-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change falls in intron 23 of the GLDC gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the GLDC protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with glycine encephalopathy (PMID: 27362913). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2136733). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts the c.2838+5G nucleotide in the GLDC gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 27362913). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
