Description
This variant is present in population databases (rs121434282, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 281 of the ACADM protein (p.Arg281Thr). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (PMID: 11486912). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg281 amino acid residue in ACADM. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15915086, 26947917, 27856190). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ACADM function (PMID: 16128823). 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 ACADM protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3596). This variant is also known as R256T.
