Description

In a patient with VLCAD deficiency (201475) associated with infantile cardiomyopathy and sudden death, Strauss et al. (1995) identified compound heterozygosity for 2 mutations in the ACADVL gene: R613W (609575.0003) and a 1-bp deletion of one of the 2 guanine nucleotides forming the intron-exon 6 boundary. The normal sequence is ccccagGAA and the mutant sequence was cccaGAA. The authors noted that the most likely consequence of this deletion would be an alternation in splicing because of loss of the conserved ag dinucleotide at the splice acceptor site. Alternatively, splicing at this site might occur but this would result in loss of a single nucleotide in exon 6, causing a shift in the mRNA reading frame. In either event, this mutation would most likely result in an unstable mRNA and lack of VLCAD protein expression from the mutant allele.

Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu115Lysfs*2) in the ACADVL gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ACADVL are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9973285, 11590124). This variant is present in population databases (rs387906250, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (PMID: 23867825, 27246109). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1624). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

This variant has been reported in PMID: 7479827. This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG guidelines: PVS1, PS3

Description

Variant summary: ACADVL c.343delG (p.Glu115LysfsX2 also referred to as c.343-1delG) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant also deletes a conserved exonic nucleotide located adjacent to intron 5 splice acceptor site of the ACADVL gene: 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 277170 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.343delG has been reported in the literature in multiple compound heterozygous individuals affected with Very Long Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency ( example, Strauss 1995, Mathur 1999, Evans 2016, Gillingham 2017, Ndukwe Erlingsson 2013, Olpin 2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Publications also reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (example, Hesse 2018, Mathur 1999, Strauss 1995). The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity in cell lines bearing this variant as a compound heterozygous genotype, while the variant results in 32% of normal activity in heterozygous patient fibroblasts. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic (n=2)/likely pathogenic citing overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

Description

The NM_000018.4(ACADVL): c.343del (p.Glu115Lysfs) variant in ACADVL is a frameshift predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically relevant exon 6/20 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1: PMIDs 9973285, 11590124). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00004 in African population, which is lower than the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel threshold (<0.001) for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). To our knowledge, functional assays have not been reported for this variant, however it has been reported in the literature in at least four individuals with VLCADD (PP4: PMID: 7479827, 31031081, 32778825). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel: PVS1, PM2_supporting, PP4.)

Description

The ACADVL c.343del; p.Glu115LysfsTer2 variant (rs387906249) is reported in both homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals with VLCAD deficiency (Olsson 2022, Rovelli 2019, Strauss 1995). This variant is also classified as pathogenic by an expert panel (ClinVar Variation ID: 1624). It is only found on four alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Olsson D et al.
