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]

ENSG00000250349 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

The missense variant c.882del(p.Ala295ProfsTer28) in OTC gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The observed variant is absent in gnomAD exomes database. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic but no details are available for independent assessment. This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Alanine 295, changes this amino acid to Proline residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 28 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Ala295ProfsTer28. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. However since this variant is present in the penultimate exon, functional studies will be required to prove protein truncation. Hence the variant is classified as Uncertain Significance. -
