Genes affected
ARG1 (HGNC:663): (arginase 1) Arginase catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. At least two isoforms of mammalian arginase exist (types I and II) which differ in their tissue distribution, subcellular localization, immunologic crossreactivity and physiologic function. The type I isoform encoded by this gene, is a cytosolic enzyme and expressed predominantly in the liver as a component of the urea cycle. Inherited deficiency of this enzyme results in argininemia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperammonemia. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

NM_000045.3(ARG1):c.57+1G>A is a canonical splice site variant classified as likely pathogenic in the context of argininemia. c.57+1G>A has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 7649538). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. c.57+1G>A has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: NFE 0.001%). In summary, NM_000045.3(ARG1):c.57+1G>A is a canonical splice site variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, is predicted to disrupt protein function, and has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

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

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 1 of the ARG1 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 ARG1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7649538, 12052859). This variant is present in population databases (rs587776539, gnomAD 0.002%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with arginase deficiency (PMID: 7649538). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2395). 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. -
