Genes affected
ASS1 (HGNC:758): (argininosuccinate synthase 1) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the penultimate step of the arginine biosynthetic pathway. There are approximately 10 to 14 copies of this gene including the pseudogenes scattered across the human genome, among which the one located on chromosome 9 appears to be the only functional gene for argininosuccinate synthetase. Mutations in the chromosome 9 copy of this gene cause citrullinemia. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

Variant summary: The ASS1 c.1194-1G>C variant involves the alteration of a conserved intronic nucleotide located at a position known to affect splicing, which 5/5 splice prediction tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing and ESE finder predicts alterations to ESE binding. A functional study, Su_1990, indicates the variant to affect splicing and cause an elongation of the protein. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 2/121348 (1/60674), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic ASS1 variant of 1/244. Multiple publications have cited the variant in affected individuals as homozygotes and compound heterozygotes, along with multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories classifying the variant as "likely pathogenic/pathogenic." Therefore, the variant of interest has been classified as "Pathogenic." -

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

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 15 of the ASS1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely disrupts the C-terminus of the protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs727503814, gnomAD 0.003%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with citrullinemia (PMID: 2246255, 2358466, 15266621, 15334737, 24889030). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 166704). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in 7 bp deletion of exon 16 and introduces a new termination codon (PMID: 17576681). However the mRNA is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
