Genes affected
CBS (HGNC:1550): (cystathionine beta-synthase) The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to catalyze the conversion of homocysteine to cystathionine, the first step in the transsulfuration pathway. The encoded protein is allosterically activated by adenosyl-methionine and uses pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. Defects in this gene can cause cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency (CBSD), which can lead to homocystinuria. This gene is a major contributor to cellular hydrogen sulfide production. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Nov 03, 2021NM_000071.2(CBS):c.362G>A(R121H) is a missense variant classified as likely pathogenic in the context of homocystinuria, CBS-related. R121H has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 10338090, 16307898, 16479318, 30873612). Functional assessments of this variant are available in the literature (PMID: 16307898, 22267502). R121H has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: AFR 0.02%). In summary, NM_000071.2(CBS):c.362G>A(R121H) is a missense variant that has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 22, 2022The p.R121H pathogenic mutation (also known as c.362G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the CBS gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 362. The arginine at codon 121 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been detected in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states with other alterations in CBS in several individuals with homocystinuria, features of homocystinuria and/or CBS-deficiency (Kraus JP et al. Hum Mutat, 1999;13:362-75; Urreizti R et al. J Hum Genet, 2006 Feb;51:305-313; Katsushima F et al. Mol Genet Metab, 2006 Apr;87:323-8; Van Hove JLK et al. J Inherit Metab Dis, 2019 05;42:424-437). In expression studies in E. coli, this variant showed decreased enzyme activity and impaired capability to correctly form tetramers (Katsushima F et al. Mol Genet Metab, 2006 Apr;87:323-8). In a yeast growth assay, this variant was characterized as nonfunctional (Mayfield JA et al. Genetics, 2012 Apr;190:1309-23). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
HYPERHOMOCYSTEINEMIA, THROMBOTIC, CBS-RELATED Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 05, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 121 of the CBS protein (p.Arg121His). This variant is present in population databases (rs770095972, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with homocystinuria (PMID: 10338090, 16307898, 16479318). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188948). 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 CBS protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CBS function (PMID: 16307898, 22267502). This variant disrupts the p.Arg121 amino acid residue in CBS. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10338090, 16307898, 21520339; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Homocystinuria Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 31, 2020Variant summary: CBS c.362G>A (p.Arg121His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Pyridoxal-phosphate dependent enzyme domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251070 control chromosomes. c.362G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Homocystinuria (example, Katsushima_2006, Urreizti_2006, Kraus_1999). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in severely impaired enzyme activity resulting from impaired tetramer assembly (Katsushima_2006). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic citing overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
