HADH

protein-coding

hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase

Gene summary

This gene is a member of the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase gene family. The encoded protein functions in the mitochondrial matrix to catalyze the oxidation of straight-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoAs as part of the beta-oxidation pathway. Its enzymatic activity is highest with medium-chain-length fatty acids. Mutations in this gene cause one form of familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. The human genome contains a related pseudogene of this gene on chromosome 15. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Manifestation: Biochemical; Endocrine; Gastrointestinal

Intervention: Cardiovascular; Endocrine; Gastrointestinal

Rationale: Individuals may present with hypoglycemic seizures, which can lead to neurologic sequelae, and measures to treat/prevent hypoglycemia (eg, with diazoxide) can be effective; In the longer-term, medical and/or surgical treatment (eg, with pancreatectomy, glucagon) may help prevent severe sequelae; In 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, surveillance for cardiovascular manifestations (eg, cardiomyopathy) may allow prompt management; Liver transplant has been described

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_005327.7. 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.

Function
FUNCTION: Plays an essential role in the mitochondrial beta- oxidation of short chain fatty acids. Exerts it highest activity toward 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA.;
Disease
DISEASE: 3-alpha-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (HADH deficiency) [MIM:231530]: An autosomal recessive, metabolic disorder with various clinical presentations including hypoglycemia, hepatoencephalopathy, myopathy or cardiomyopathy, and in some cases sudden death. {ECO:0000269|Ref.13}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 4 (HHF4) [MIM:609975]: Most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy. Unless early and aggressive intervention is undertaken, brain damage from recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia may occur. HHF4 should be easily recognizable by analysis of acylcarnitine species and that this disorder responds well to treatment with diazoxide. It provides the first 'experiment of nature' that links impaired fatty acid oxidation to hyperinsulinism and that provides support for the concept that a lipid signaling pathway is implicated in the control of insulin secretion. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11489939}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
