Genes affected
GCH1 (HGNC:4193): (GTP cyclohydrolase 1) This gene encodes a member of the GTP cyclohydrolase family. The encoded protein is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) biosynthesis, catalyzing the conversion of GTP into 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate. BH4 is an essential cofactor required by aromatic amino acid hydroxylases as well as nitric oxide synthases. Mutations in this gene are associated with malignant hyperphenylalaninemia and dopa-responsive dystonia. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described; however, not all variants give rise to a functional enzyme. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_000161.3
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 30 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 1 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.5191 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.62455 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to GTP cyclohydrolase I deficiency, dystonia 5, GTP cyclohydrolase I deficiency with hyperphenylalaninemia.

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 77 of the GCH1 protein (p.Ser77Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs748666093, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of GCH1-related conditions (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 577041). 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 not expected to disrupt GCH1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
