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]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu422*) in the ARSA gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 88 amino acid(s) of the ARSA protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs755635209, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ARSA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 424522). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant disrupts a region of the ARSA protein in which other variant(s) (p.Pro428Leu) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1670590, 9090526, 9096767, 11941485, 26462614). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 88 amino acids are lost, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in HGMD; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD) -
