Alkaptonuria Pathogenic:8Other:1
The variant was originally described in AKU patient in PMID:10482952. It has been submitted to the HGD gene mutation database (http://hgddatabase.cvtisr.sk/, DB-ID: AKU_00004). -

This variant lies in the essential splice acceptor site, in intron 1 of the HGD gene. In-silico splice prediction tools (ASSP and NNSPLICE) suggest that this variant might affect splicing due to the loss of constitutive splice site and introduction of a new splice site, which in turn might lead to a frameshift and consequent premature termination of the protein; this will likely result in loss-of-function. The variant was previously reported in patients diagnosed with alkaptonuria [PMID: 10205262, 25681086, 10482952, 23430897, 20301627]. Loss-of-function variants in HGD are known to be pathogenic [PMID: 12501223, 19862842]. -
The c.16-1G>A variant in HGD has been reported in at least 10 individuals with alkaptonuria, several of whom were compound heterozgyous for the variant with a second pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant (Beltrán-Valero de Bernabé 1999 PMID: 1020526,Müller 1999 PMID: 10482952, Phornphutkul 2002 PMID: 1250122, Vilboux 2009 PMID: 19862842). It has also been identified in 0.009% (6/68042) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), and has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic by multiple submitters (ClinVar ID 3170). This variant occurs within the canonical splice site (+/- 1,2) and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Loss of function of the HGD gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive alkaptonuria. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classifed as pathogenic for autosomal recessive alkaptonuria. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3_VeryStrong, PVS1_Moderate, PM2_Supporting. -
This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 1 of the HGD gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in HGD are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12501223, 19862842). This variant is present in population databases (rs397515347, gnomAD 0.006%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with alkaptonuria (PMID: 10205262, 10482952, 23430897, 25681086). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3170). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The HGD c.16-1G>A variant is predicted to disrupt the AG splice acceptor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with alkaptonuria (Table 1, referred to as c.183-1G>A, Müller et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10482952; Table 1, Beltran-Valero et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10205262; Table 1, Usher et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25681086). This variant is reported in 0.0044% of alleles in individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice acceptor site in HGD are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
