Description

In 4 patients with molybdenum cofactor deficiency type B (MOCODB; 252160), Reiss et al. (1999) identified a 2-bp deletion, 726del2, in the MOCS2 gene, removing the last 9 amino acids of the gene product. The mutation was found in homozygous state in 3 patients (1 French, 1 Portuguese, and 1 English) and in compound heterozygous state in a German patient with an E168K missense mutation (603708.0002). This deletion mutation accounted for 50% (7 of 14) of identified alleles.

Reiss and Johnson (2003) reported that the 726delAA frameshift deletion is the most common MOCS2B mutation, having been found on 11 of 28 alleles. They speculated that the prevalence of this mutation in port cities of Portugal, France, the Netherlands, and Germany raises the possibility of distribution by a merchant sailor.

Description

The p.Lys180ArgfsX31 variant in MOCS2 has been reported in 4 individuals with clinical features of molybdenum cofactor deficiency (Reiss 1999). Three of these individuals were homozygous for this variant and one individual was compound heterozygous. This variant has also been identified in 0.01% (5/67564) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs398122797). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 180. This alteration occurs within the last exon and is more likely to escape nonsense mediated decay (NMD) and result in a truncated protein. Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the MOCS2 gene have been shown to cause molybdenum cofactor deficiency. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Lys180ArgfsX31 variant is likely pathogenic.
