Genes affected

OTC (HGNC:8512): (ornithine transcarbamylase) This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial matrix enzyme. The encoded protein is involved in the urea cycle which functions to detoxify ammonia into urea for excretion. Mutations in this enzyme lead to ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, which causes hyperammonemia. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 414 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-38352763-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-38352763-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 97292.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Jul 01, 2021	The OTC c.67C>T; p.Arg23Ter variant (rs72552300) is reported in the literature in individuals affected with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (Grompe 1991, Wilnai 2018). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 97292), and is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Grompe M et al. Improved molecular diagnostics for ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. Am J Hum Genet. 1991 Feb;48(2):212-22. Wilnai Y et al. Prenatal treatment of ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. Mol Genet Metab. 2018 Mar;123(3):297-300. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Aug 03, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 97292). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (PMID: 1671317, 18604903). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg23*) in the OTC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in OTC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10946359, 16786505). -
