Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg41*) in the ETFDH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ETFDH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16510302, 23785301). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with glutaric acidemia type II (PMID: 12359134, 24190796). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 577047). 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.

Description

Variant summary: ETFDH c.121C>T (p.Arg41X) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251316 control chromosomes. c.121C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Glutaric Aciduria (e.g. Goodman_2002). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 12359134). Three submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
