Genes affected

GLDC (HGNC:4313): (glycine decarboxylase) Degradation of glycine is brought about by the glycine cleavage system, which is composed of four mitochondrial protein components: P protein (a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent glycine decarboxylase), H protein (a lipoic acid-containing protein), T protein (a tetrahydrofolate-requiring enzyme), and L protein (a lipoamide dehydrogenase). The protein encoded by this gene is the P protein, which binds to glycine and enables the methylamine group from glycine to be transferred to the T protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

Aug 03, 2023

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. 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 expected to disrupt GLDC protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 554516). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with nonketotic hyperglycinemia (PMID: 27362913). 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 (rs759933539, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 910 of the GLDC protein (p.Ser910Leu). -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: GLDC c.2729C>T (p.Ser910Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250828 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2729C>T has been observed in the presumed compound heterozygous state in at least 1 individual(s) affected with Glycine Encephalopathy (Non-Ketotic Hyperglycinemia) (Coughlin_2017). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 554516). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
