Genes affected
ASS1 (HGNC:758): (argininosuccinate synthase 1) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the penultimate step of the arginine biosynthetic pathway. There are approximately 10 to 14 copies of this gene including the pseudogenes scattered across the human genome, among which the one located on chromosome 9 appears to be the only functional gene for argininosuccinate synthetase. Mutations in the chromosome 9 copy of this gene cause citrullinemia. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with citrullinemia (MIM#215700). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from aspartic acid to asparagine. (I) 0252 - This variant is homozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 for a recessive condition (4 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated arginosuccinate synthase domain substrate binding site (NCBI). (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as pathogenic (ClinVar), and observed in multiple compound heterozygous and homozygous individuals with classic citrullinemia and encephalopathy (PMID: 27287393, PMID: 16475226, PMID: 30285816, PMID: 27629047). (SP) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Transfected E.coli cells have demonstrated null enzyme activity and reduced protein half-life and thermal stability (PMID: 27287393). (SP) 1101 - Very strong and specific phenotype match for this individual. (SP) 1209 - This variant has been shown to be both maternally and paternally inherited (biallelic, by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: ASS1 c.370G>A (p.Asp124Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251442 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.370G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Citrullinemia Type I (examples: Alfadhel_2016, Bijarnia-Mahay_2018 and Diez-Fernandez_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to 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% of normal activity (example: Diez-Fernandez_2016). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ASS1 function (PMID: 16475226, 27287393). 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 ASS1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 458673). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with citrullinemia (PMID: 16475226). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 124 of the ASS1 protein (p.Asp124Asn). -
