Description

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. A different variant affecting this nucleotide (c.1006G>C) has been shown to disrupt RNA splicing and determined as likely pathogenic (PMID: 17063374, Invitae). This suggests that codon 336 is important for normal RNA processing and protein function, and that other variants at this position, such as c.1006G>T, may also be pathogenic. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are relatively common causes of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098) and according to multiple splice site algorithms this particular variant may affect splicing. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. Two different variant affecting this nucleotide, c.1006G>C and c.1006G>A (both cause Gly to Arg change at codon 336) have been reported in individuals affected with Hunter disease (PMID: 17063374, 9266380, 8830188). In addition, other IDS missense changes affecting the same codon c.1007G>A (p.Gly336Glu) and c.1007G>T (p.Gly336Val) have also been reported in affected individuals (PMID: 24125893, 9660053). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a IDS-related disease. This sequence change replaces glycine with tryptophan at codon 336 of the IDS protein (p.Gly336Trp). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between glycine and tryptophan. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 7 of the IDS coding sequence, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon.
