Description
This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 444 of the BTD protein (p.Asp444Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with biotinidase deficiency (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1358756). 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 BTD protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Asp444 amino acid residue in BTD. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9654207, 10206677, 12227467, 23644139). 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.
