Genes affected
PHGDH (HGNC:8923): (phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase) This gene encodes the enzyme which is involved in the early steps of L-serine synthesis in animal cells. L-serine is required for D-serine and other amino acid synthesis. The enzyme requires NAD/NADH as a cofactor and forms homotetramers for activity. Mutations in this gene have been found in a family with congenital microcephaly, psychomotor retardation and other symptoms. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found, however the full-length nature of most are not known. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

PHGDH deficiency Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpSep 07, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 491 of the PHGDH protein (p.Arg491Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs587731325, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency (PMID: 22393170). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496330). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PHGDH function (PMID: 33758422). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingNatera, Inc.Jan 12, 2020- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 06, 2022Variant summary: PHGDH c.1471C>T (p.Arg491Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0001 in 249902 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in PHGDH causing Phosphoglycerate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (0.0001 vs 0.0026), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1471C>T has been reported in the literature in a compound heterozygous individual affected with Phosphoglycerate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and in an individual affected with Macular telangiectasia type 2 (Meneret_2012, Eade_2021). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrated the variant to have 52% of relative enzyme activity compared to wild-type (Eade_2021). Five ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance and one ClinVar submitter (evaluation after 2014) cites it as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
