Genes affected
AMT (HGNC:473): (aminomethyltransferase) This gene encodes one of four critical components of the glycine cleavage system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with glycine encephalopathy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
NICN1 (HGNC:18317): (nicolin 1, tubulin polyglutamylase complex subunit) This protein encoded by this gene localizes to the nucleus and is expressed in numerous tissues including brain, testis, liver, and kidney. This refseq contains genomic sequence in its 3' UTR which is not supported by experimental evidence. Computer predictions indicate that this region of the 3' UTR contains hairpin-forming self-complementary sequence which is possibly excised after transcription. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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

Variant summary: AMT c.-58C>T is located in the untranscribed region upstream of the AMT gene region. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5e-06 in 199220 control chromosomes. c.-58C>T has been observed in individuals affected with Glycine Encephalopathy (Non-Ketotic Hyperglycinemia), including at least two cases where it was found in trans with a pathogenic variant (Coughlin_2017, internal data). It has been noted that several 5'UTR variants located within nucleotides c.-55 to c.-66 were observed in affected individuals from the Coughlin_2017 study cohort, suggesting this could represent a regulatory region for the AMT gene. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27362913). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555489). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

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

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555489). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with glycine encephalopathy (PMID: 27362913; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (rs753743263, gnomAD 0.001%). This variant occurs in a non-coding region of the AMT gene. It does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the AMT protein. -
