Description
The c.1269+1G>A variant in ACADVL, also published as IVS12+1G>A, occurs within the canonical splice donor site (+/- 1,2) of intron 12. It is predicted to cause skipping of biologically-relevant-exon 12/20, resulting in an in-frame deletion (removes amino acids 395-423) that is predicted to escape nonsense mediated decay (PVS1_Moderate). This variant has been described without an additional ACADVL variant in 3 individuals identified by newborn screen, identified in an unknown phase to a variant of uncertain significance in two individuals, and has also been identified occurring in the homozygous state in an individual identified by newborn screen (PM3_Supporting, PMIDs: 32793418, 30194637, 25834949, 21932095, 21531094). The individual who carried the c.1269+1G>A variant in the homozygous state also displayed reduced VLCAD enzyme activity, which is highly specific for very long chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency (PP4_Moderate, PMID: 25834949). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00001 in the European (Non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel threshold (<0.001) for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive VLCAD deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel: PVS1_Moderate, PM3_Supporting, PP4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting (VCEP specifications version 1; approved November 8, 2021)
