Genes affected
ETFDH (HGNC:3483): (electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase) This gene encodes a component of the electron-transfer system in mitochondria and is essential for electron transfer from a number of mitochondrial flavin-containing dehydrogenases to the main respiratory chain. Mutations in this gene are associated with glutaric acidemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu412*) in the ETFDH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ETFDH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16510302, 23785301). This variant is present in population databases (rs398124151, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with glutaric aciduria type 2 (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 95071). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
