Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000071.3(CBS):c.1136G>A(p.Arg379Gln) variant causes a missense change. 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. R379W) has been classified as Pathogenic.

The R379Q variant in the CBS gene was reported in one Spanish patient with severe homocystinuria, whoalso carried a second CBS variant, 1566delG (Urreizti et al., 2003). The R379Q substitution was absent form50 healthy, ethnically matched controls (Urreizti et al., 2003), and was also not observed in approximately6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project,indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. R379Q is a semi-conservative amino acidsubstitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties, albeitthis residue is not conserved across species. Furthermore, a missense variant in the same residue (R379W)and in nearby residues (C370Y, V371M, D376N, K384E, K384N) have been reported in the Human GeneMutation Database in association with homocystinuria (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functionalimportance of this residue and region of the protein. Moreover, in vitro expression in e.coli and functionalassays demonstrated that the presence of R379Q completely abolishes enzyme function, most likely due to alack of monomers to form functional tetramers (Urreizti et al., 2006). In summary, R379Q in the CBS gene is interpreted as a pathogenic variant. -
HYPERHOMOCYSTEINEMIA, THROMBOTIC, CBS-RELATED Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 379 of the CBS protein (p.Arg379Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs763036586, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with homocystinuria (PMID: 12815602, 16479318, 21520339). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188825). 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: 16429402). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Homocystinuria Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: CBS c.1136G>A (p.Arg379Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 249472 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1136G>A has been reported in the literature in several individuals affected with Homocystinuria (e.g. Urreizti_2003, Van Hove_2019, Kaur_2020, Gorukmez_2023). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. A different variant affecting the same codon has been classified as pathogenic by our lab (c.1135C>T, p.Arg379Trp), supporting the critical relevance of codon 379 to CBS protein function. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 12815602, 33057012, 36964972, 30873612). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188825). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
