Description
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 459 of the ACADVL protein (p.Arg459Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs766742117, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with biochemical features of very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency but in whom no second allele was reported (PMID: 9973285, 10738914, 21932095, 26385305; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203584). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Arg459 amino acid residue in ACADVL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 14517516, 19327992, 21429517, 23798014). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
