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]

Variant summary: The c.769G>C (p.Asp257His) in ARSA gene is a missense change that involves a highly conserved nucleotide and 5/5 in silico tools predict deleterious outcome. The variant is absent from the control population dataset of ExAC. The variant was identified in multiple affected individuals presented with enzymatically confirmed infantile and juvenile forms of MLD with undetectable levels of arylsulfatase A activity in fibroblasts or severely reduced levels in leucocytes. The variant of interest has been reported as Pathogenic by reputable database/clinical laboratory. Taking together, the variant was classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 257 of the ARSA protein (p.Asp257His). This variant is present in population databases (rs80338819, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 8982952, 10477432, 12445909). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21187). 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 ARSA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ARSA function (PMID: 8982952, 15720392). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
