Genes affected
ARSA (HGNC:713): (arylsulfatase A) The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes cerebroside sulfate to cerebroside and sulfate. Defects in this gene lead to metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD), a progressive demyelination disease which results in a variety of neurological symptoms and ultimately death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 13 uncertain in NM_000487.6
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr22-50627402-C-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 431085.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 159 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 11 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.38013 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.56919 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to metachromatic leukodystrophy, juvenile form, metachromatic leukodystrophy.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3503771).

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 77 of the ARSA protein (p.Ala77Ser). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ARSA-related conditions. 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 ARSA protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
