Description

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449382). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency (PMID: 18204299, 18440262, 33489762). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the gnomAD database. This sequence change falls in intron 5 of the OTC gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the OTC protein.

Description

This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the +265 position of intron 5 of the OTC gene. This variant has been reported in three male neonates clinically diagnosed with OTC deficiency (PMID: 18204299, 18440262, 34014569), as well as in seven females affected with late-onset OTC deficiency (PMID: 33489762) and episodic OTC deficiency (PMID: 34014569). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). RT-PCR analyses of patient-derived RNA have shown that a new splice acceptor site created by this variant is paired with a cryptic splice donor site located 135 nucleotides downstream, resulting in the inclusion of the 135-nucleotide intronic sequence between exons 5 and 6 of the OTC transcript with a premature stop of translation at codon 184 (PMID: 18204299, 18440262). This variant is expected to result in an absent or nonfunctional protein product. Loss of OTC function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
