Description

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 409 of the ACADVL protein (p.Thr409Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs113994169, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed, in combination with a different pathogenic ACADVL variant, in individual(s) with very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCAD) (PMID: 24503138, 31031081; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It is commonly reported in individuals of Maori and Pacific ancestry (PMID: 26743058). Homozygous individuals have been reported with abnormal newborn screening lab results but without early-onset or severe symptoms typical for classic VLCAD; however, long term follow-up data is not available to assess risk for late-onset VLCAD (PMID: 24503138). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21013). 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 ACADVL protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

The ACADVL c.1226C>T; p.Thr409Met variant (rs113994169) has been reported at a high frequency in unaffected individuals of Maori and Pacific ancestry (Ryder 2016). Homozygosity for this variant has been associated with elevated C14:1 acylcarnitine levels during newborn screening, but has not been associated with the development of classical very long-chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency (Evans 2016, Merritt 2014, Ryder 2016). However, these studies did not evaluate the occurrence of late-onset VLCAD symptoms during adolescence or adulthood. This variant has more recently been reported to be compound heterozygous with other ACADVL variants in individuals with VLCAD deficiency (Rovelli 2019). The p.Thr409Met variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 21013). It is observed in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.005% (14/282856 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.333). Based on the available information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Evans M et al.

Description

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with VLCAD deficiency (MIM#201475). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from threonine to methionine. (I) 0252 - This variant is homozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v3: 19 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes,). (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v2: 1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and/or uninformative conservation. (I) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, C-terminal domain (DECIPHER). (I) 0710 - Another missense variant comparable to the one identified in this case has inconclusive previous evidence for pathogenicity. p.(Thr409Arg) has been classified as a VUS by a diagnostic laboratory in ClinVar. (I) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity for this variant are conflicting. It has been classified as pathogenic and VUS by diagnostic laboratories in ClinVar. Known to be enriched in Polynesian populations, compound heterozygous individuals are likely to manifest mild disease and homozygotes tend to remain asymptomatic (PMID: 26743058, 35267200, 35400565). (I) 1001 - This variant has strong functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Blood spots from individuals carrying this variant (both homozygous and compound heterozygous), consistently display VLCAD deficiency and elevated C14:1-carnitine levels (PMID:31031081, 26743058, 24503138). (SP) 1207 - Parental origin of the variant is unresolved. Subsequent analysis has shown that this variant is not maternally inherited; however, a sample from this individual's father has not been tested. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign
