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]

Glycine encephalopathy Pathogenic:1
Jun 30, 2021
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. 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. -

Athena Diagnostics
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -
