Description

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the ACADVL protein in which other variant(s) (p.Val642Met) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 31031081). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 541724). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a positive newborn screening result for ACADVL-related disease (PMID: 26385305, 32778825). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp626*) in the ACADVL gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 30 amino acid(s) of the ACADVL protein.

Description

The ACADVL c.1878G>A; p.Trp626Ter variant is reported in the medical literature in at least one individual sent for newborn screening of very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (Miller 2015). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 541724), but is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a premature termination codon and truncates the terminal 30 amino acids. These amino acids are unique amongst acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, but have no reported critical function (Goetzman 2007, McAndrew 2008). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Trp626Ter variant is uncertain at this time. References: Goetzman ES et al.

Description

Variant summary: ACADVL c.1878G>A (p.Trp626X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein. While this variant is not expected to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is predicted to disrupt the last 30 amino acids of the protein. The variant was absent in 251306 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1878G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals undergoing newborn screening (e.g., Miller_2015, Adhikari_2020), however, the phenotype or if a second ACADVL variant was detected in trans in these individuals was not reported. These reports therefore do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Very Long Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32778825, 26385305). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 541724). Additionally, downstream variants have been reported in association with Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in HGMD and have been classified as pathogenic/likely pathogenic by our laboratory and others in ClinVar. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
