Description
Variant summary: SLC22A5 c.364G>T (p.Asp122Tyr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Major facilitator superfamily domain (IPR020846) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00038 in 240408 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than the estimated maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in SLC22A5 causing Systemic Primary Carnitine Deficiency (0.0046), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.364G>T has been reported in the literature in heterozygous state in multiple individuals, mostly as a biochemical phenotype (e.g. Li_2010, Adhikari_2020, Navarrete_2019, Hou_2020, Lindholm_2021) and in at least three compound heterozygotes (who all carried a second pathogenic/likely pathogenic SLC22A5 variant) affected with Systemic Primary Carnitine Deficiency (e.g., Miller_2020, Ambrose_2022, Martin-Rivada_2022). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least two publications reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated markedly impaired transport function for the variant protein (e.g., Toh_2011, Koleske_2022). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32778825, 36109795, 31980526, 37510298, 36343260, 20574985, 34802252, 35281663, 32371413, 30626930, 21864509, 20208395). Multiple submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with conflicting interpretations (pathogenic, n = 5; likely pathogenic, n = 5; VUS, n = 3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
