Description
The NM_000018.4:c.1077+2T>C variant in ACADVL occurs within the canonical splice donor site (+/- 1,2) of intron 10. It is predicted to cause skipping of biologically-relevant-exon 10/20, resulting in a frameshift leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1: PMIDs 9973285, 11590124). This variant has been detected in three homozygous siblings with very long chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency, who inherited the variant from heterozygous parents (PMID:25338548)(PM3_Supporting, points=0.5). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). Two patients with this variant displayed elevated C14:1 levels ≥ 1.0 μM and VLCAD enzyme activity <20% of control in proband fibroblast (PMID:25338548, 9973285), which is highly specific for VLCADD (PP4_Moderate). The ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel VCEP classified the variant as pathogenic based on PVS1,PM2_supporting,PM3_Supporting, PP4_Moderate.
