Invitae RCV000699943 SCV000828676 pathogenic Anemia, nonspherocytic hemolytic, due to G6PD deficiency 2024-01-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 44 of the G6PD protein (p.Ala44Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs78478128, gnomAD 0.2%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (PMID: 10192449, 17524386). It is commonly reported in individuals of South Asian ancestry (PMID: 8533762, 15315792, 20621077, 22906047, 26829728, 27880809). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 10406). 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 G6PD protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects G6PD function (PMID: 8533762). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Lifecell International Pvt. Ltd RCV000699943 SCV001443094 pathogenic Anemia, nonspherocytic hemolytic, due to G6PD deficiency criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant in exon 3 of the G6PD gene results in the amino acid substitution from Alanine to Glycine at codon 74 (p.Ala74Gly) with the sequence change of c.221C>G (NM_000402.4). This variant was observed in a proband with decreased level of G6PD enzyme (<2.4 U/dL) which was screened for advanced newborn screening with confirmatory genetic reflex testing at lifecell diagnostics. The reference base is conserved across the species and in-silico predictions by SIFT and MutationTaster are damaging. The Missense Variants Z-Score for this variant is 2.60. Missense Variants Z-Score is produced by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (60,706 adult humans) by computing a signed Z score for the deviation of observed counts from the expected number. Positive Z scores indicate increased constraint (intolerance to variation) and therefore that the gene had fewer missense variants than expected. The G6PD c.221C>G; p.Ala74Gly variant, also referred to as c.131C>G; p.Ala44Gly, commonly known as G6PD Orissa, has been described in literatures as a Class III variant, associated with moderate enzyme deficiency (Arunachalam et al., 2020; PMID: 32425388, Minucci et al., 2010; PMID: 20621077). This variant has previously been reported for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and is most frequent in Indian tribal population (Kaeda et al., 1995; PMID:8533762, Sukumar et al., 2004; PMID:15315792, Lin et al., 2016; PMID:26829728, Sarker et al., 2016; PMID:27880809). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change reduces G6PD enzymatic activity in vitro (Kaeda et al., 1995; PMID:8533762).

In one family, hemiygote and heterozygous mother both have decreased G6PD activity (PP1). Decreased activity in red blood cells (5-33%) (PS3). In GxxGDLA NADP binding site (PM1).

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV003314551 SCV004014691 pathogenic G6PD deficiency 2023-05-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The G6PD c.221C>G (p.Ala74Gly) missense variant, also known as c.131C>G (p.Ala44Gly) or the G6PD Orissa allele, has been commonly reported in individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency with South Asian ancestry, including in a hemizygous and homozygous state (PMID: 27880809; 8533762; 32425388). Enzyme activity in individuals with this variant is typically 5%-20% of normal. The highest frequency of this allele in the Genome Aggregation Database is 0.004917 in the South Asian population, which includes eight hemizygotes (version 3.1.2). This frequency is consistent with disease prevalence estimates. Functional studies of purified enzyme have demonstrated that this variant causes an increase in Km for NADP+, which results in a reduced G6PD enzyme activity level (PMID: 8533762). This variant has been classified as pathogenic by at least three submitters in ClinVar. Based on the available evidence, the c.221C>G (p.Ala74Gly) variant is classified as pathogenic for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
Neuberg Supratech Reference Laboratories Pvt Ltd, Neuberg Centre for Genomic Medicine RCV000699943 SCV004046941 pathogenic Anemia, nonspherocytic hemolytic, due to G6PD deficiency criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The missense c.221C>G (p.Ala74Gly) variant in G6PD gene has been reported in heterozygous state in individuals affected with hemolytic anemia. This variant has been reported to be a common cause of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in South Asia, although it has also been reported in other populations (Sukumar et al., 2004). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change reduces G6PD enzymatic activity in vitro (Kaeda et al., 1995). This variant is reported with the allele frequency 0.01% in the gnomAD and 0.02% in 1000 genome database. It has been submitted to ClinVar with varying interpretations: Pathogenic / Uncertain Significance. The amino acid Ala at position 74 is changed to a Gly changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The residue is conserved across species. The amino acid change p.Ala74Gly in G6PD is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
