Genes affected

ABAT (HGNC:23): (4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase) 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT) is responsible for catabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an important, mostly inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, into succinic semialdehyde. The active enzyme is a homodimer of 50-kD subunits complexed to pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The protein sequence is over 95% similar to the pig protein. GABA is estimated to be present in nearly one-third of human synapses. ABAT in liver and brain is controlled by 2 codominant alleles with a frequency in a Caucasian population of 0.56 and 0.44. The ABAT deficiency phenotype includes psychomotor retardation, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, lethargy, refractory seizures, and EEG abnormalities. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.89).
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (EAS) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.774 is higher than 0.05.
