Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM5PP2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000531.6(OTC):c.77G>A(p.Arg26Gln) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 2/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R26P) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency Pathogenic:4

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 26 of the OTC protein (p.Arg26Gln). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 1, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with OTC deficiency (PMID: 2474822, 25994866). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 10993). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The glutamine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). 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. -
Variant summary: OTC c.77G>A (p.Arg26Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 86719 control chromosomes in ExAC and the literature. The c.77G>A variant has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency (Grompe_1989, Kim_2006, Kim_2015, Arranz_2007, Shao_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
The c.77G>A variant (also known as p.R26Q), located in coding exon 1 of the OTC gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 77. This change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 1, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. In addition to potential splicing impact, this alteration changes the arginine at codon 26 to glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was identified in a hemizygous state in a Hispanic male patient with neonatal clinical OTC deficiency. Analysis of a liver biopsy from this patient revealed lack of mRNA and enzyme activity (Grompe M et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 1989 Aug;86(15):5888-92). This variant was previously reported in the SNPDatabase as rs68031618. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the following databases: NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6502 samples with coverage at this position. Both the nucleotide and amino acid positions are not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the ESEfinder splice site prediction tool, this alteration is predicted to weaken the efficiency of the native splice donor site; however, direct experimental evidence is unavailable. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
