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]

Ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency Pathogenic:2

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 5 of the OTC 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 OTC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10946359, 16786505). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (PMID: 8566955, 31426867). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site.
