Genes affected

ASPA (HGNC:756): (aspartoacylase) This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of N-acetyl_L-aspartic acid (NAA) to aspartate and acetate. NAA is abundant in the brain where hydrolysis by aspartoacylase is thought to help maintain white matter. This protein is an NAA scavenger in other tissues. Mutations in this gene cause Canavan disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Nov 09, 2023	This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 287 of the ASPA protein (p.Ala287Thr). 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 Canavan disease (PMID: 12638939, 16854607, 26992473). 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: 188803). 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 ASPA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: The ASPA c.859G>A (p.Ala287Thr) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index). The C-domain of the protein forms a pocket that accommodates the acetyl group of NAA and puts severe restriction on the size of this portion of substrate. The tight pocket is formed by residues Thr-118, Gln-184, Phe-282, Glu-285, Ala-287, and Tyr-288. Thus, p.Ala287Thr is predicted to alter the hydrogen bonding network, which may lead to destabilization of interaction between the N- and C-domain (PMID: 17194761). This variant was found in 3/120632 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000249, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic ASPA variant (0.0079057). ASPA c.859G>A has been reported in numerous patients with Canavan disease. In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as likely pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
