Genes affected
ARSA (HGNC:713): (arylsulfatase A) The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes cerebroside sulfate to cerebroside and sulfate. Defects in this gene lead to metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD), a progressive demyelination disease which results in a variety of neurological symptoms and ultimately death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 05, 2021Variant summary: ARSA c.293C>T (p.Ser98Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.4e-05 in 208510 control chromosomes. c.293C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (example, Gieselmann_1991, Rafi_2003, van Rappard_2016, Beerepoot_2020). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity in-vitro (example, Gieselmann_1991). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 13, 2024This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 98 of the ARSA protein (p.Ser98Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs74315456, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 1678251, 12809637, 22993277, 23701968). This variant is also known as c.287C>T, p.Ser96Phe. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3054). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ARSA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ARSA function (PMID: 1678251). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
