Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV000301741 SCV000365367 uncertain significance Hepatic methionine adenosyltransferase deficiency 2018-01-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.
Invitae RCV000301741 SCV002142396 uncertain significance Hepatic methionine adenosyltransferase deficiency 2022-09-04 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant disrupts the p.Arg163 amino acid residue in MAT1A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26933843). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The glutamine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 301189). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MAT1A-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs752361383, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 163 of the MAT1A protein (p.Arg163Gln).
Ambry Genetics RCV002520638 SCV003685718 uncertain significance Inborn genetic diseases 2021-09-16 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.488G>A (p.R163Q) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the MAT1A gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 488, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 163 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
