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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln828Profs*7) in the GLDC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GLDC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16601880). This variant is present in population databases (rs766762760, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with nonketotic hyperglycinemia (PMID: 26179960). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 557789). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
