Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000170.3(GLDC):c.1381C>T(p.Arg461Trp) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000103 in 1,461,338 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R461P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Glycine encephalopathy Pathogenic:1
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg461 amino acid residue in GLDC. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16601880, 26179960). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects GLDC protein function (PMID: 28244183). 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: 552091). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with glycine encephalopathy (PMID: 27362913). This variant is present in population databases (rs761957837, ExAC 0.01%). This sequence change replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 461 of the GLDC protein (p.Arg461Trp). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and tryptophan. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
This variant appears to segregate with disease in at least one family (PMID: 26179960). Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function (PMID: 28244183). Additionally, computational tools yielded predictions that this amino acid change may be damaging to the protein. This variant has been identified in an individual tested at Athena Diagnostics who has clinical features associated with this gene and has been previously reported in individuals with NKH (PMID: 26179960, 28244183). The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org).This observation is not an independent occurrence and has been identified in the same individual by RCIGM, the other laboratory participating in the GEMINI study. -
