Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000531.6(OTC):​c.506C>T​(p.Pro169Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 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. P169S) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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]

OTC Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 11 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 7 uncertain in NM_000531.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrX-38401393-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1066964.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 266 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 15 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.3274 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: NaN (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.997
• PP5: Variant X-38401394-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-38401394-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 97228.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 169 of the OTC protein (p.Pro169Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with OTC deficiency (PMID: 11117428, 34014569). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 97228). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt OTC protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Pro169 amino acid residue in OTC. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11793468). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
