RCV001388927 | SCV001590081 | pathogenic | Pyruvate carboxylase deficiency | 2020-10-12 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with pyruvate carboxylase deficiency (PMID: 23430542). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in the last intron (intron 21) of the PC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it likely alters RNA splicing and results in a disrupted protein product. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the C-terminus of the PC protein. Other variant(s) that disrupt this region (p.Glu1146Glyfs*26) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 23430542, Invitae). This suggests that variants that disrupt this region of the protein are likely to be causative of disease. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. |
