Genes affected
GCDH (HGNC:4189): (glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. It catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of glutaryl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA and CO(2) in the degradative pathway of L-lysine, L-hydroxylysine, and L-tryptophan metabolism. It uses electron transfer flavoprotein as its electron acceptor. The enzyme exists in the mitochondrial matrix as a homotetramer of 45-kD subunits. Mutations in this gene result in the metabolic disorder glutaric aciduria type 1, which is also known as glutaric acidemia type I. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 12. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]

Glutaric aciduria, type 1 Pathogenic:7
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 19, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 88 of the GCDH protein (p.Arg88Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs142967670, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with glutaric aciduria type I (PMID: 8900227, 10699052, 11073722, 19433437, 23395213, 28438223). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189150). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GCDH protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GCDH function (PMID: 8900227). This variant disrupts the p.Arg88 amino acid residue in GCDH. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21811973, 23395213, 24332224). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaOct 16, 2018Across a selection of the available literature, the GCDH c.262C>T (p.Arg88Cys) variant has been identified in ten probands with glutaric acidemia, including four who carried the variant in a homozygous state and six who carried the variant in a compound heterozygous state, and in an additional seven proband alleles (Biery et al. 1996; Schwartz et al. 1998; Busquets et al. 2000; Zschocke et al. 2000; Al-Dirbashi et al. 2011; Bhattacharjee et al. 2015; Schmiesing et al. 2017). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.000108 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Expression of wild type and p.Arg88Cys variant GCDH in E. coli revealed the p.Arg88Cys variant produced stable protein, however Western blotting found no enzyme activity (Biery et al. 1996). Expression of the p.Arg88Cys variant in HeLa cells revealed expression and degradation rates similar to wild type and normal mitochondrial localization but abnormal mitochondrial architecture, while expression in HEK293T cells revealed no negative impact on oligomer formation (Schmiesing et al. 2017). Based on the collective evidence, the p.Arg88Cys variant is classified as pathogenic for glutaric acidemia. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 06, 2017Variant summary: The GCDH c.262C>T (p.Arg88Cys) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 6/121308 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000495, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic GCDH variant (0.0035355). The variant was reported in numerous affected individuals in the literature and functional studies using both expression systems as well as patient firbroblasts show the variant to have a complete loss of GCDH activity (Biery_1996, CHRISTENSEN_2004). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as likely pathogenic/pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 13, 2022Published functional studies demonstrate this variant results in glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity that is less than 1% of the activity of expressed wild-type protein (Biery et al., 1996); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25255367, 24332224, 23395213, 25087612, 28438223, 28062662, 8900227, 10699052, 11073722, 19433437, 31536184, 33064266, 32778825) -
