Genes affected
MOCS2 (HGNC:7193): (molybdenum cofactor synthesis 2) Eukaryotic molybdoenzymes use a unique molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) consisting of a pterin, termed molybdopterin, and the catalytically active metal molybdenum. MoCo is synthesized from precursor Z by the heterodimeric enzyme molybdopterin synthase. The large and small subunits of molybdopterin synthase are both encoded from this gene by overlapping open reading frames. The proteins were initially thought to be encoded from a bicistronic transcript. They are now thought to be encoded from monocistronic transcripts. Alternatively spliced transcripts have been found for this locus that encode the large and small subunits. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Lys180ArgfsX31 variant in MOCS2 has been reported in 4 individuals with clinical features of molybdenum cofactor deficiency (Reiss 1999). Three of these individuals were homozygous for this variant and one individual was compound heterozygous. This variant has also been identified in 0.01% (5/67564) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs398122797). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 180. This alteration occurs within the last exon and is more likely to escape nonsense mediated decay (NMD) and result in a truncated protein. Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the MOCS2 gene have been shown to cause molybdenum cofactor deficiency. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Lys180ArgfsX31 variant is likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change results in a frameshift in the MOCS2B gene (p.Lys180Argfs*31). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 9 amino acid(s) of the MOCS2B protein and extend the protein by 21 additional amino acid residues. This variant is present in population databases (rs398122797, gnomAD 0.03%). This frameshift has been observed in individual(s) with molybdenum cofactor deficiency (PMID: 9459218, 10053004, 23436702, 33502714). This variant is also known as c.726_727delAA or 726del2. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6108). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this frameshift affects MOCS2B function (PMID: 30810871). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
