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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

The missense variant p.R363Q in ASS1 (NM_054012.4) has been previously reported in an individual affected with ASS1-related conditins (Gao et al, 2003). The p.R363Q variant has a gnomAD frequency of 0.0003999 % and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. There is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. The p.R363Q missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The arginine residue at codon 363 of ASS1 is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.1088 in ASS1 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. The observed variant is also detected in the spouse. -

Reported in other individuals reported to have citrullinemia who either did not have a second variant identified in the ASS1 gene or for whom detailed clinical information was not provided (Haberle et al., 2010; Zielonka et al., 2019); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30285816, 24508627, 19006241, 12815590, 28111830, 31469252, 20005624) -

Citrullinemia Pathogenic:1

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 363 of the ASS1 protein (p.Arg363Gln). 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 missense change has been observed in individual(s) with citrullinemia type I (PMID: 30285816, 31469252; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203631). 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 ASS1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg363 amino acid residue in ASS1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 2358466, 12815590, 14680976, 16124451, 25537548, 26117549, 28111830). 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. -

The ASS1 c.1088G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg363Gln. This variant has been reported along with a second pathogenic variant in multiple individuals with citrullinemia, and was in confirmed to be in the compound heterozygous state in at least one of the reported individuals (Gao et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12815590; Table S1 in Diez-Fernandez et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28111830; Bijarnia-Mahay et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30285816; PreventionGenetics internal data). When expressed along with a second known pathogenic variant (p.Gly390Arg) in a biallelic expression system, activity of the argininosuccinate synthetase enzyme was reduced to <20% of control (Zielonka et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31469252). Alternate substitutions at this location (p.Arg363Gly, p.Arg363Leu, p.Arg363Trp) have been reported in affected patients, with p.Arg363Trp being a particularly common recurrent pathogenic variant (See Table S1 in Diez-Fernandez et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28111830). The p.Arg363 amino acid is moderately conserved, and is located at the dimer interface where it is thought to play an important role in dimer/tetramer formation (Gao et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12815590; Diez-Fernandez et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28111830). This variant is reported in 0.00088% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Taken together, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
