Genes affected
ARSA (HGNC:713): (arylsulfatase A) The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes cerebroside sulfate to cerebroside and sulfate. Defects in this gene lead to metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD), a progressive demyelination disease which results in a variety of neurological symptoms and ultimately death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Submissions by phenotype

Metachromatic leukodystrophy Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpSep 17, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant results in an extension of the ARSA protein. Other variant(s) that result in a similarly extended protein product (p.Arg498Profs*75) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19021637, 26462614). This suggests that these extensions are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188843). This variant is also known as 2590_2591insCCCC. This frameshift has been observed in individual(s) with metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 12809638). This variant is present in population databases (rs774153480, gnomAD 0.005%). This sequence change results in a frameshift in the ARSA gene (p.Arg498Profs*76). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 12 amino acid(s) of the ARSA protein and extend the protein by 63 additional amino acid residues. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Nov 10, 2021NM_000487.5(ARSA):c.1489_1492dupCCCC(R498Pfs*76) is a read through frameshift variant classified as likely pathogenic in the context of metachromatic leukodystrophy. R498Pfs*76 has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 14517960). Functional assessments of this variant are not available in the literature. R498Pfs*76 has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: NFE 0.016%). In summary, NM_000487.5(ARSA):c.1489_1492dupCCCC(R498Pfs*76) is a read through frameshift variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease and is predicted to disrupt protein function. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
