Description

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Tyr203 amino acid residue in ARSA. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 23559313, 31694723). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ARSA function (PMID: 18786133). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ARSA protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68144). This variant is also known as Tyr201Cys or Y201C. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with metachromatic leukodystrophy (PMID: 7581401, 18786133). This variant is present in population databases (rs199476345, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 203 of the ARSA protein (p.Tyr203Cys).
