Description

A heterozygous missense variant, NM_004092.3(ECHS1):c.476A>G, has been identified in exon 4 of 8 of the ECHS1 gene. The variant is predicted to result in a moderate amino acid change from glutamine to arginine at position 159 of the protein (NP_004083.3(ECHS1):p.(Gln159Arg)). The glutamine residue at this position has very high conservation (100 vertebrates, UCSC), but is not located within a well established functional domain. The variant is present in the gnomAD database at a frequency of 0.01% (29 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). The variant has previously been reported as likely pathogenic in ClinVar and is reported multiple times in the liteature in patients with deficiency of shortchain enoyl-CoA hydratase (Ganetzky RD et al., 2016, Haack TB et al.; 2015, Tetreault M et al., 2015, Ferdinandusse S et al.; 2015). One of these reports showed significantly reduced enzymatic activity in a patient that was compound heterozygous for this variant (Ferdinandusse S et al.; 2015). Analysis of parental samples indicated this variant was maternally inherited. Based on the information available at the time of curation, this variant has been classified as PATHOGENIC.

Description

In 3 sibs (proband 68552) with mitochondrial short-chain enoyl-CoA hydratase-1 deficiency (ECHS1D; 616277), who were born to consanguineous Pakistani parents (family 3), Haack et al. (2015) identified a homozygous c.476A-G transition (c.476A-G, NM_004092.3) in exon 4 of the ECHS1 gene, resulting in a gln159-to-arg (Q159R) substitution. The mutation was identified by whole-exome sequencing in 1 sib and confirmed by Sanger sequencing from blood spots in the 2 other sibs (identical female twins), who were deceased. The parents were heterozygous for the mutation. Haack et al. (2015) identified the Q159R mutation in compound heterozygosity with different ECHS1 mutations in 2 unrelated patients with ECHS1D: patient 346 (family 1) had the previously identified N9S mutation (602292.0005) and patient 52236 (family 10) had a c.229G-C transversion, resulting in a glu77-to-gln (E77Q; 602292.0009) substitution. Immunoblot analysis on fibroblasts from patients 346 and 52236 showed reduced expression of the ECHS1 protein; reduced palmitate-dependent respiration and reduced 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase activity was found in the fibroblasts of patient 52236. The Q159R variant had an allele frequency of 0.0001148 in the ExAC database, and the E77Q was not present in the database.

In 3 Irish Traveler sibs with ECHS1D, Fitzsimons et al. (2018) identified homozygosity for the Q159R mutation in the ECHS1 gene. Erythro-2,3-dihydroxy-2-methylbutyrate and 3-methylglutaconic acid were elevated on urine organic acids of all patients. Muscle and fibroblast testing was carried out in 1 sib. Fibroblasts showed markedly decreased ECHS1 enzyme activity and absence of ECHS1 on Western blot analysis. PDH activity and beta oxidation studies were normal. Activities of respiratory chain complexes I, II, and IV were normal, and activity of complexes II+III was decreased in muscle.

For discussion of the Q159R mutation in the ESCHS1 gene that was found in compound heterozygosity in a patient (P4) with ESCHS1D by Tetreault et al. (2015), see 602292.0009.
