Genes affected

BCAT2 (HGNC:977): (branched chain amino acid transaminase 2) This gene encodes a branched chain aminotransferase found in mitochondria. The encoded protein forms a dimer that catalyzes the first step in the production of the branched chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

This sequence change falls in intron 10 of the BCAT2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the BCAT2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs781190142, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BCAT2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1900632). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
