Genes affected
HLCS (HGNC:4976): (holocarboxylase synthetase) This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the binding of biotin to carboxylases and histones. The protein plays an important role in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis and branched chain amino acid catabolism. Defects in this gene are the cause of holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 12, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 426486). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency (PMID: 9870216). This variant is present in population databases (rs772791252, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg565*) in the HLCS gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in HLCS are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16134170). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 03, 2018Variant summary: HLCS c.1693C>T (p.Arg565X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 246268 control chromosomes. c.1693C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Holocarboxylase Synthetase Deficiency (Sakamoto 1998, Tang 2003, Donti 2016). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in 10%-<30% of normal activity (Sakamoto_1998). 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. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxApr 14, 2017The R565X nonsense variant in the HLCS gene has been reported previously in association with holocarboxylase synthetase deciency in several unrelated individuals who were heterozygous for R565X and another variant in the HLCS gene (Sakamoto et al., 1998; Tang et al., 2003; Donti et al., 2016). This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. -
