Description
The p.R301G pathogenic mutation (also known as c.901C>G), located in coding exon 6 of the GLA gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 901. The arginine at codon 301 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in numerous individuals with Fabry disease, having low enzyme activity observed (Shabbeer J et al. Mol Genet Metab, 2002 May;76:23-30; Calcagnino M et al. J Am Coll Cardiol, 2011 Jun;58:88-9; Romani I et al. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis, 2015 Nov;24:2588-95; Esposito R et al. Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging, 2019 Apr;20:438-445; Citro R et al. Front Cardiovasc Med, 2022 Apr;9:838200; Di Risi T et al. Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Oct;23:[ePub ahead of print]). Another alteration at the same codon, p.R301Q (c.902G>A), has been detected in individuals with Fabry disease, who had reduced enzyme activity (Sakuraba H et al. Am J Hum Genet. 1990;47:784-789; Shin SH et al Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2007 Jul;359(1):168-73; Sawada K et al. Clin. Nephrol. 1996 May;45:289-294). In vitro studies showed this alteration impacts protein function (Lukas J et al. PLoS Genet, 2013 Aug;9:e1003632; Benjamin ER et al. Genet Med, 2017 Apr;19:430-438). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by BayesDel in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
