Genes affected
ASS1 (HGNC:758): (argininosuccinate synthase 1) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the penultimate step of the arginine biosynthetic pathway. There are approximately 10 to 14 copies of this gene including the pseudogenes scattered across the human genome, among which the one located on chromosome 9 appears to be the only functional gene for argininosuccinate synthetase. Mutations in the chromosome 9 copy of this gene cause citrullinemia. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

Citrullinemia Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 02, 2023This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 117 of the ASS1 protein (p.Gly117Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs770944877, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with citrullinemia type I (PMID: 12815590, 16124451, 27287393). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 556029). 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 ASS1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ASS1 function (PMID: 27287393). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 27, 2023Variant summary: ASS1 c.349G>A (p.Gly117Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in 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 1.2e-05 in 247280 control chromosomes. c.349G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Citrullinemia Type I, including in homozygotes with neonatal/infantile onset (e.g. Diez-Fernandez_2016). 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 a complete loss of normal argininosuccinate synthetase enzyme activity (e.g. Diez-Fernandez_2016). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27287393). Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic (n=4) or likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
ASS1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJul 10, 2024The ASS1 c.349G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly117Ser. This variant has been reported in the homozygous state in several patients with a biochemical diagnosis of citrullinemia (Gao et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12815590; Wasant et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 16124451; Diez-Fernandez et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27287393). The p.Gly117Ser change was reported to decrease ASS1 enzyme activity to <2% of wild-type (Diez-Fernandez et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27287393). This variant is reported in 0.0027% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
