Genes affected
ACO2 (HGNC:118): (aconitase 2) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the aconitase/IPM isomerase family. It is an enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of citrate to isocitrate via cis-aconitate in the second step of the TCA cycle. This protein is encoded in the nucleus and functions in the mitochondrion. It was found to be one of the mitochondrial matrix proteins that are preferentially degraded by the serine protease 15(PRSS15), also known as Lon protease, after oxidative modification.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 240 of the ACO2 protein (p.Gly240Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs141878785, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with optic atrophy (PMID: 34056600). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 214018). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt ACO2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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.

Reported as a homozygous variant of uncertain significance in an individual with complex ataxia, pyramidal syndrome, and cerebellar atrophy; this individual did not have optic atrophy or retinal degeneration and had normal mitochondrial aconitase activity in fibroblasts (Marelli et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34056600, 32483926, 27528516, 30552426, 34354088, 32519519, 36294366)

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.719G>C (p.G240A) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 6) of the ACO2 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 719, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 240 to be replaced by an alanine (A). The in silico prediction for the p.G240A alteration is inconclusive. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

This variant was classified as: Uncertain significance. The available evidence favors the pathogenic nature of this variant, however the currently available data is insufficient to conclusively support its pathogenic nature. Thus this variant is classified as Uncertain significance - favor pathogenic. The following ACMG criteria were applied in classifying this variant: PP2,PP3.
