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]

Likely pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	literature only	Juha Muilu Group; Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM)	-	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Sep 19, 2022	Variant summary: GLDC c.2891dupA (p.Tyr964X) 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. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251228 control chromosomes (gnomAD and Kure_2006). c.2891dupA has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype together with an exon 1 deletion in an individual affected with Non-Ketotic Hyperglycinemia (e.g. Kure_2006). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Oct 13, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr964*) in the GLDC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 57 amino acid(s) of the GLDC protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with glycine encephalopathy (PMID: 16450403). This variant is also known as c.2891insA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56172). This variant disrupts a region of the GLDC protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gly994Arg) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26179960, 27362913, 28244183). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
