rs201337954, also known as Arg401Ter or R401X, is a mutation in the NGLY1 gene encoding N-glycanase. In the orientation currently given in dbSNP, which on the forward strand compared to the gene which is on the bottom strand, the rs201337954(A) allele is the quite rare nonsense allele leading to a defective N-glycanase. Carriers of one such allele are generally unaffected, but if the other allele is defective, this leads to congenital disorder of deglycosylation (CDDG). Be wary of ambiguous flips with this SNP due to orientation issues.

A;A

Two defective copies of the NGLY1 gene, leading to congenital disorder of deglycosylation (CDDG). However, due to orientation issues, this may be spurious and should be confirmed.

A;T

Unaffected carrier (assuming the other NGLY1 allele is normal) of an allele which is associated with congenital disorder of deglycosylation
