Genes affected

HLCS (HGNC:4976): (holocarboxylase synthetase) This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the binding of biotin to carboxylases and histones. The protein plays an important role in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis and branched chain amino acid catabolism. Defects in this gene are the cause of holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 8 of the HLCS gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the HLCS protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs753887925, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has been observed in individuals with olocarboxylase synthetase defficiency (PMID: 10653324, 11735028, 27114915). This variant is also known as IVS10+5G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1912). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 10653324). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: HLCS c.1519+5G>A alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant weakens a 5' donor site, while one predicts the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing, with skipping of exon 10 in vitro and in a homozygous patient cell line (Sakamoto_2000). In addition, assays for HCS activity in these patient fibroblasts revealed levels at 4% of control activity. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.9e-05 in 277238 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in HLCS causing Holocarboxylase Synthetase Deficiency (6.9e-05 vs 0.0028), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.1519+5G>A, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Holocarboxylase Synthetase Deficiency and is likely a Scandinavian founder mutation (Sakamoto_2000, Yang_2001). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25525159, 10653324, 11735028, 16134170, 27114915, 33123633) -
