ACAD8

protein-coding

acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family member 8, the group of Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family

Gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family of enzymes that catalyze the dehydrogenation of acyl-CoA derivatives in the metabolism of fatty acids or branch chained amino acids. The encoded protein is a mitochondrial enzyme that functions in catabolism of the branched-chain amino acid valine. Defects in this gene are the cause of isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

The relationship between ACAD8 and isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (autosomal recessive) was evaluated using the ClinGen Clinical Validity Framework as of April, 2019. ACAD8 encodes isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IBD), which catalyzes the third step of the degradation of valine. Many patients with IBD deficiency are asymptomatic and are identified through newborn screening programs with elevated C4 acylcarnitine concentrations followed by confirmation of isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity. Variants in ACAD8 were first reported in humans with this deficiency in 2002 (Nguyen et al., PMID 12359132; Roe et al., 1998; PMID 9889013). At least 27 unique variants (missense, nonsense, frameshift, splicing, deletion) have been identified in humans from at least 9 publications. Evidence supporting this gene-disease relationship includes case-level and experimental data. This gene-disease relationship is supported by biochemical assays and a mouse model. In summary, ACAD8 is definitively associated with autosomal recessive isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in both the research and clinical diagnostic settings and has been upheld over time. This classification was approved by the ClinGen Aminoacidopathy Gene Curation Expert Panel on 4/26/19 (SOP Version 5).

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_014384.3. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
