GeneDx RCV000200523 SCV000249719 pathogenic not provided 2023-03-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29352562, 23974653, 10338090, 28550590, 22612060, 9587029, 25087612, 20506325, 28421128, 20308073, 25331909, 22985361, 31589614, 32768567, 33848968, 21520339, 12124992, 25218699, 18280597, 23733603)
Ambry Genetics RCV002310761 SCV000317366 pathogenic Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection 2024-03-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.P49L pathogenic mutation (also known as c.146C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the CBS gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 146. The proline at codon 49 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This mutation was detected in a patient with homocystinuria, who also had an in-frame deletion and was pyridoxine responsive (De Franchis R, et al. Eur J Pediatr. 1998;157:S67-70). In addition this alteration was observed in conjunction with a splice site mutation in a patient who presented with deep vein thrombosis along with cardiac, ocular, and skeletal symptoms; however, information on phase was not provided (Evangelisti L, Int. J. Cardiol. 2009 May; 134(2):251-4). This alteration has been reported in an individual with a history of severe thoracic aortic aneurysm, but who also harbored an ACTA2 variant (Landis BJ et al. J Cardiovasc Transl Res, 2017 May). In another study, this mutation was detected in a mildly affected patient and his asymptomatic sister, both of whom carried a mild mutation in the other CBS allele. Functional studies showed that p.P49L was associated with mildly reduced enzyme activity (about 75% of the wild type) (Cozar M, et al. Hum Mutat. 2011;32(7):835-842). A further study determined that protein expression in fibroblasts from a homozygous individual were decreased. In addition, both protein levels and enzymatic activity were reduced to approximately 40% when expressed in vitro. However, the protein maintained normal response levels to its activator protein (Mendes J. Inherit. Metab Dis. 2014;37(2):25-254). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
Invitae RCV002229028 SCV000543521 pathogenic HYPERHOMOCYSTEINEMIA, THROMBOTIC, CBS-RELATED 2024-01-17 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 49 of the CBS protein (p.Pro49Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs148865119, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with homocystinuria (PMID: 9587029, 12124992, 18280597, 21520339, 23733603, 23974653, 25218699, 29352562). 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: 212872). 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 CBS protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CBS function (PMID: 21520339, 22985361, 23974653). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000200523 SCV001472722 likely pathogenic not provided 2020-01-09 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The CBS c.146C>T; p.Pro49Leu variant (rs148865119) is reported in the literature in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in individuals affected with homocystinuria, but is associated with a mild clinical phenotype (Cozar 2011, De Franchis 1998, Gaustadnes 2002, Mendes 2014, Stabler 2013). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 212872), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.015% (42/281978 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The proline at codon 49 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. In vitro functional analyses demonstrate a mild decrease in protein expression and function (Cozar 2011, Mendes 2014, Pey 2013, Vicente 2017). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Cozar M et al.

In addition, it segregated with thromboembolic episodes in one family without the associated ocular, skeletal, or CNS abnormalities (Stabler 2013). It was also found in an asymptomatic sibling with hyperhomocysteinemia and hypermethioninemia but had no clinical sign of classical homocystinuria and had given birth to three healthy offspring without complications (Cozar 2011). It has also been identified in 0.031% (40/128366) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). However, this frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 212872). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In vitro and in vivo functional studies support a mild impact on protein function (Alcaide 2015, Cozar 2011, Hnizda 2012, Kozich 2010, Mendes 2014, Vicente 2017). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for mild homocystinuria.
