Description
Variant summary: G6PD c.653C>T (p.Ser218Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, C-terminal domain (IPR022675) of the encoded protein sequence. 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 0.0026 in 183257 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 6 homozygotes. This variant has a high frequency in South Asian population (0.017) in gnomAD. c.653C>T (Also known as G6PD Mediterranean) is a common cause of G6PD deficiency in the Mediterranean area, the Middle East and the India subcontinent (Kurdi-Haidar_1990). c.653C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with severe Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (Kurdi-Haidar_1990), neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia (Moiz_2012) and hemolytic anemia (examples: Vulliamy_1988, Similuk_2022, and Naofal_2023). These data indicate that the variant is very 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 (Vulliamy_1988). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36703223, 35753512, 22906047, 3393536, 1978555). Thirty submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
