GeneDx RCV000186134 SCV000239159 pathogenic not provided 2022-09-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Functional analysis of R169Q found that it is associated with significantly reduced carnitine transport compared to wild-type (Frigeni et al., 2017); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); 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: 10425211, 20574985, 23090741, 21922592, 26828774, 28841266, 34178604, 33560599, 32853555)
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000006790 SCV000756761 pathogenic Renal carnitine transport defect 2024-06-21 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 169 of the SLC22A5 protein (p.Arg169Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908889, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with primary carnitine deficiency (PMID: 10425211, 20574985, 21922592, 23090741, 26828774). 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: 6421). 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 SLC22A5 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg169 amino acid residue in SLC22A5. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11058897, 12210323, 23090741). 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.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000006790 SCV000920211 pathogenic Renal carnitine transport defect 2018-04-10 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: SLC22A5 c.506G>A (p.Arg169Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change that affects a highly conserved sequence motif in the encoded protein sequence (Burwinkel 1999). Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.5e-05 in 246204 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in SLC22A5 causing Systemic Primary Carnitine Deficiency (4.5e-05 vs 0.0046), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.506G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Systemic Primary Carnitine Deficiency (Burwinkel 1999, Rose 2012, Yoon 2012). 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 function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity (Rose 2012). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
