Description

The ACADVL p.Arg615Gln variant (rs148584617; ClinVar variation ID: 195448) has been previously identified by our laboratory, and is described in the literature in multiple patients with very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency (Gobin-Limballe 2007, Mathur 1999, Hoffmann 2012, Diekman 2016, Pena 2016). However the exact contribution of this variant to the clinical presentation of these patients is unclear. The enzyme activity in cells isolated from patients with VCLAD was reported to range from 21% of control activity (Hoffmann 2012) to 40% (Diekman 2016) to be indistinguishable from control activity (Gobin-Limballe 2007) for p.Arg615Gln when in trans with different ACADVL variants. And at least one study identified this variant in two individuals who failed newborn screening, but had not developed symptoms at age 2 (Diekman 2016). Furthermore, this variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.27% (758/282,554 alleles, including 4 homozygotes) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 615 is moderately conserved, but computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.397). Due to conflicting information, the clinical significance of the p.Arg615Gln variant is uncertain at this time. References: Diekman E et al.

Description

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.

Description

The c.1844G>A variant in ACADVL is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by glutamine at amino acid 615 (p.Arg615Gln), also called Arg575Gln in the processed peptide. The variant has been identified in individuals identified by positive newborn screen, or identified in individuals with suspected very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency that was not confirmed biochemically, but this information is insufficient to use toward classification (PMID: 10077518, 17999356, 27209629, 21932095, 26453363). The variant has been reported to occur in individuals who also carried a distinct ACADVL variant not confirmed in trans; however, since none of these individuals met PP4, the ACADVL VCEP could not count these toward PM3 evidence (PMID: 17999356, 21932095, 27209629). The highest continental population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.003654 in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is higher than the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel threshold (>=0.0035) for BS1, and therefore meets this criterion (BS1). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.397, which is below the threshold of 0.5, evidence that does not predict a damaging effect on ACADVL function (BP4). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely benign for autosomal recessive VLCAD deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel: BS1, BP4 (ACADVL VCEP specifications version 1; approved November 8, 2021).
