ASNSD is caused by inheritable autosomal recessive mutations in the asparagine synthetase (<jats:italic>ASNS<\/jats:italic>) gene.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We performed whole\u2010exome sequencing using the patient's peripheral blood, and newly discovered mutations were subsequently verified in the patient's parents via Sanger sequencing. Software\u2010based bioinformatics analyses (protein sequence conservation analysis, prediction of protein phosphorylation sites, protein structure modeling, and protein stability prediction) were performed to investigate and deduce their downstream effects.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this article, we summarized all the previously reported cases of ASNSD and that of a Chinese girl who was clinically diagnosed with ASNSD, which was later confirmed via genetic testing. Whole\u2010exome sequencing revealed two compound heterozygous missense mutations within the <jats:italic>ASNS<\/jats:italic> (c.368T\u00a0&gt;\u00a0C, p.F123S and c.1649G\u00a0&gt;\u00a0A, p.R550H). The origin of the two mutations was also verified in the patient's parents via Sanger sequencing. The mutation c.368T\u00a0&gt;\u00a0C (p.F123S) was discovered and confirmed to be novel and previously unreported. Using software\u2010based bioinformatics analyses, we deduced that the two mutation sites are highly conserved across a wide range of species, with the ability to alter different phosphorylation sites and destabilize the ASNS protein structure. The newly identified p.F123S mutation was predicted to be the most significantly destabilizing and detrimental mutation to the ASNS protein structure, compared to all other previously reported mutations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Evidently, the presence of these compound heterozygous mutations could lead to severe clinical phenotypes and
