Genes affected

BCO1 (HGNC:13815): (beta-carotene oxygenase 1) Vitamin A metabolism is important for vital processes such as vision, embryonic development, cell differentiation, and membrane and skin protection. The protein encoded by this gene is a key enzyme in beta-carotene metabolism to vitamin A. It catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of beta,beta-carotene into two retinal molecules.

The BCO1 c.509C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr170Met. This variant has previously been reported in the heterozygous state in a patient with hypercarotenemia and mild hypovitaminosis A (Lindqvist et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17951468). Additionally, it was identified by exome sequencing in a patient with a connective tissue disorder and also yellow-orange skin (Meerschaut et al 2019. PubMed ID: 31595668). In in vitro studies, the p.Thr170Met substitution was reported to result in a 90% reduction in activity of the carotenoid 15,15’-monooxygenase enzyme (Lindqvist et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17951468). A second variant was not identified in the reported patient’s BCO1 gene. The authors speculated that a single causative BCO1 variant could lead to a disease phenotype due to haploinsufficiency (Lindqvist et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17951468). However, this variant is reported in 0.26% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD, including in one homozygous individual (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/16-81298282-C-T), which is may be too common to be a primary cause of disease. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
