Integrated Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America | RCV000780304 | SCV000917466 | pathogenic | Mucopolysaccharidosis, MPS-IV-B | 2018-05-11 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: GLB1 c.442C>A (p.Arg148Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Glycoside hydrolase 35 catalytic domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.3e-05 in 276992 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publications). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in GLB1 causing GM1 gangliosidosis (4.3e-05 vs 2.00e-03), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.442C>A, has been reported in the literature in several individuals affected with GM1 gangliosidosis (Zhang_2000, Hofer_2010, Nestrasil_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein maturation and enzyme activity, with both being significantly reduced in the presence of the variant (Zhang_2000). Additionally, other variants at the Arg148 residue have been reported as associated with disease (p.Arg148Cys and p.Arg148His), suggesting that this codon is important for function. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. |
Invitae | RCV001055679 | SCV001220079 | pathogenic | Mucopolysaccharidosis, MPS-IV-B; GM1 gangliosidosis | 2019-10-15 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces arginine with serine at codon 148 of the GLB1 protein (p.Arg148Ser). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and serine. This variant is present in population databases (rs192732174, ExAC 0.006%). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with GM1 gangliosidosis (PMID: 25600812, 20175788, 10839995). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551757). This variant has been reported to affect GLB1 protein function (PMID: 10839995). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant disrupts the p.Arg148 amino acid residue in GLB1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15986423, 23151865, 17221873, 25936995, 17221873). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
