Genes affected
CBS (HGNC:1550): (cystathionine beta-synthase) The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to catalyze the conversion of homocysteine to cystathionine, the first step in the transsulfuration pathway. The encoded protein is allosterically activated by adenosyl-methionine and uses pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. Defects in this gene can cause cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency (CBSD), which can lead to homocystinuria. This gene is a major contributor to cellular hydrogen sulfide production. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

The p.G148R variant (also known as c.442G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the CBS gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 442. The glycine at codon 148 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported as homozygous and as a compound heterozygote in subjects with features of homocystinuria (Kraus JP et al. Hum Mutat, 1999;13:362-75; Orend&aacute;&egrave; M et al. Hum Mutat, 2004 Jun;23:631). This alteration has also been shown to have an impact on protein function (Meier M et al. Biochim Biophys Acta, 2003 Apr;1647:206-13; Orend&aacute;&egrave; M et al. Hum Mutat, 2004 Jun;23:631; Mayfield JA et al. Genetics, 2012 Apr;190:1309-23). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

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

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 148 of the CBS protein (p.Gly148Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs755952006, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with homocystinuria due to CBS deficiency (PMID: 15146473, 16307898, 16479318, 20694756). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371512). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt CBS protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CBS function (PMID: 16307898, 16429402, 20490928, 20506325). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: decreased enzyme activity and failure to restore function /rescue growth when expressed in a yeast system lacking the CBS ortholog (Kozich et al., 2010; Mayfield et al., 2012; Melenovska et al., 2015); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20490928, 25331909, 20506325, 20694756, 22267502, 10338090, 16307898, 16429402, 16479318, 15146473) -

Homocystinuria Pathogenic:1
Jan 31, 2019
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The variant, CBS c.442G>A (p.Gly148Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Pyridoxal-phosphate dependent enzyme domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 244468 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant,c.442G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Homocystinuria (Katsushima_2005, Orendac_2004, Urreizti_2006). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity (Kozich_2010, Katsushima_2005, Orendac_2004). A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
