Genes affected

ARSA (HGNC:713): (arylsulfatase A) The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes cerebroside sulfate to cerebroside and sulfate. Defects in this gene lead to metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD), a progressive demyelination disease which results in a variety of neurological symptoms and ultimately death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 22-50626052-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-50626052-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 93129.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 93129). This variant is also known as p.Glu329Ter. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 16678723). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu331*) in the ARSA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ARSA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8962139, 10477432). -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: ARSA c.991G>T (p.Glu331X) 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 was absent in 212420 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.991G>T has been reported in the literature in at least an individual affected with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (Bertelli_2005). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. ARSA activity from patient (who was compound heterozygous for the variant) derived leukocytes was found to be 6.7nm/h/mg (Bertelli_2005). One ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
