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 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 12 uncertain in NM_000170.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr9-6605144-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1027372.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.988
• PP5: Variant 9-6605145-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-6605145-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 56106.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr9-6605145-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr9-6605145-C-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 26, 2023	This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 283 of the GLDC protein (p.Ala283Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs386833589, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with glycine encephalopathy (PMID: 26179960, 27362913). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 56106). 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 with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GLDC function (PMID: 26179960). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
