Genes affected
NAGS (HGNC:17996): (N-acetylglutamate synthase) The N-acetylglutamate synthase gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the formation of N-acetylglutamate (NAG) from glutamate and acetyl coenzyme-A. NAG is a cofactor of carbamyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI), the first enzyme of the urea cycle in mammals. This gene may regulate ureagenesis by altering NAG availability and, thereby, CPSI activity. Deficiencies in N-acetylglutamate synthase have been associated with hyperammonemia.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg342Profs*50) in the NAGS gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in NAGS are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12594532). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency (PMID: 12594532). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2427). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1025delG (p.R342Pfs*50) alteration, located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the NAGS gene, consists of a deletion of one nucleotide at position 1025, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 50 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This mutation has been reported in the homozygous state in two affected sisters with acute neonatal hyperammonemia (Caldovic, 2003). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
