Genes affected

SERAC1 (HGNC:21061): (serine active site containing 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a phosphatidylglycerol remodeling protein found at the interface of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula, where it mediates phospholipid exchange. The encoded protein plays a major role in mitochondrial function and intracellular cholesterol trafficking. Defects in this gene are a cause of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria with deafness, encephalopathy, and Leigh-like syndrome (MEGDEL). Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and the other non-protein coding, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 16 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 6-158158343-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-158158343-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 505907.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The p.Cys7X (NM_032861.3 c.21C>A) variant in SERAC1 has not been previously repo rted in the literature and was absent from large population studies. This nonsen se variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 7, which is predic ted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Biallelic loss of function of the SERAC1 gene has been associated with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria with deafness, encephalopathy, and Leigh-like syndrome (MEGDEL syndrome), also referred to as 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type VI (MGCA6). In summary, although additional stu dies are required to fully establish a null effect on the protein, the p.Cys7X v ariant in the SERAC1 gene is likely pathogenic for MEGDEL syndrome in an autosom al recessive manner based on its predicted impact on the protein. -
