ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	RCV000006700	SCV000602545	pathogenic	Citrullinemia type I	2019-10-04	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The ASS1 c.1087C>T, p.Arg363Trp variant (rs121908640) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with citrullinemia, either in a homozygous state or compound heterozygous with another pathogenic variant (Diez-Fernandez 2017, Faghfoury 2011, Gao 2003, Haberle 2003, Kobayashi 1990, Mohamed 2015, Wasant 2005). This variant is reported as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 6328), and is only observed on 8 alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The arginine at codon 363 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT: damaging, PolyPhen-2: benign) predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function. However, arginine 363 is implicated in tetramer binding, which is critical for protein function (Diez-Fernandez 2017). Additionally, other amino acid substitutions at this codon (Gly, Leu, Gln) have been reported in individuals with citrullinemia (Gao 2003, Mohamed 2015). Based on available information, the p.Arg363Trp variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Diez-Fernandez C et al.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	RCV001376637	SCV000630050	pathogenic	Citrullinemia	2025-01-21	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 363 of the ASS1 protein (p.Arg363Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908640, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with citrullinemia type 1 (PMID: 2358466, 12815590, 14680976, 16124451, 25537548, 26117549, 28111830). 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: 6328). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ASS1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ASS1 function (PMID: 8792870). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

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 3.2e-05 in 250206 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1087C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Citrullinemia Type I (e.g. Haberle_2003, Wasant_2005, Zielonka_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated severely diminished activity compared to the wild type (Zielonka_2019). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
Myriad Genetics, Inc.	RCV000006700	SCV002060326	likely pathogenic	Citrullinemia type I	2021-11-01	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	NM_000050.4(ASS1):c.1087C>T(R363W) is a missense variant classified as likely pathogenic in the context of citrullinemia type 1. R363W has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 16124451, 26117549, 2358466, 14680976, 25537548, 31056765, 30904546). Functional assessments of this variant are available in the literature (PMID: 31469252). Internal structural analysis of the variant is supportive of pathogenicity. R363W has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: AFR 0.01%). In summary, NM_000050.4(ASS1):c.1087C>T(R363W) is a missense variant that has both functional and internal structural support for pathogenicity and has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening.
