Description

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 108 of the ARSB protein (p.Gly108Asp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ARSB-related conditions. 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 ARSB protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Gly108 amino acid residue in ARSB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17161971, 30809705). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
