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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 28, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg313) 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). This variant is present in population databases (rs551472773, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 12809637). This variant is also known as p.Arg311. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 434394). 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Nov 11, 2019	Variant summary: ARSA c.937C>T (p.Arg313X) 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 1.2e-05 in 242628 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.937C>T has been reported in the literature in homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (Rafi_2003, Luzi_2013). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. These publications also reported decreased enzyme activity and elevated urinary sulfatide excretion in the patients carrying the variant (Rafi_2003, Luzi_2013). Two ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
