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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_000487.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 22-50625443-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-50625443-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3087.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr22-50625443-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr22-50625443-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Nov 12, 2019	NM_000487.5(ARSA):c.1232C>T(T411I) is classified as likely pathogenic in the context of metachromatic leukodystrophy. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 18832844, 22798296, 21265945, 19154224, 10459747 and 7909527. Classification of NM_000487.5(ARSA):c.1232C>T(T411I) is based on the following criteria: This variant has been observed more frequently in patients with clinical diagnoses than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Aug 10, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that this missense change results in the activation of a cryptic splice site in exon 8 (PMID: 7909527). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ARSA function (PMID: 7909527). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ARSA protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3087). This variant is also known as p.Thr409Ile. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 7909527, 18832844, 19154224, 21265945, 22798296). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 411 of the ARSA protein (p.Thr411Ile). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and likely results in the loss of 9 amino acid residue(s), but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame. -
