Description
The p.R535H pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1604G>A and p.R496H), located in coding exon 11 of the GBA gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1604. The arginine at codon 535 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In one study of 2,012 individuals screened for various autosomal recessive conditions, it was the third most common GBA alteration detected with a carrier frequency of 1 in 335 (Scott SA et al. Hum. Mutat. 2010; 31(11):1240-50). In addition, this variant has been detected on several alleles from individuals with Gaucher disease; however, specific phenotype information and/or additional mutation and phase information was not provided (Beutler E et al. Genomics 1993;15(1):203-5; Siebert M et al. JIMD Rep 2013 ; 9():7-16; Alfonso P et al. J. Hum. Genet. 2007; 52(5):391-6). This variant has also been detected in two individuals with Parkinson disease and Lewy body dementia (Chahine LM et al. JAMA Neurol 2013; 70(7):852-8; Nalls MA et al. JAMA Neurol 2013 ; 70(6):727-35). In another study which characterized basic kinetic, stability, and activator response properties of this alteration in an in vitro environment, authors concluded that this alteration has little, if any, in vitro catalytic activity (Liou B et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2006; 281(7):4242-53). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
