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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 22-50625578-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-50625578-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 370834.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Metachromatic leukodystrophy Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Mar 02, 2022	Variant summary: ARSA c.1210+1G>T alters a conserved nucleotide located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes the canonical 5' splicing donor site. Four predict the variant creates an alternate adjacent 5' splice donor site that would result in a frameshifting consequence. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250804 control chromosomes. c.1210+1G>T has been reported in the literature as a likely pathogenic consequence in at-least one individual undergoing carrier screening (example, Singh_2020), but to our knowledge, no occurrence of this variant in individuals affected with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy has been reported. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. 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 likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
