Genes affected

BCKDHB (HGNC:987): (branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1 subunit beta) This gene encodes the E1 beta subunit of branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase, which is a multienzyme complex associated with the inner membrane of mitochondria. This enzyme complex functions in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids. Mutations in this gene have been associated with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), type 1B, a disease characterized by a maple syrup odor to the urine in addition to mental and physical retardation and feeding problems. Alternative splicing at this locus results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Counsyl	Mar 23, 2018	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 09, 2024	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 170 of the BCKDHB protein (p.Arg170Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs398124581, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with maple syrup urine disease (PMID: 25381949, 26453840, 27682710, 29307017). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 96590). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. This variant disrupts the p.Arg170 amino acid residue in BCKDHB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with BCKDHB-related conditions (PMID: 22326532; Invitae), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.508C>T (p.R170C) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the BCKDHB gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 508, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 170 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (2/251436) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.002% (2/113724) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in several individuals with maple syrup urine disease (Li, 2015; Miryounesi, 2015; Abiri, 2017; Li, 2018; Fang, 2021; Martín-Rivada, 2022). In addition, multiple different variants at this amino acid position have been detected in patients with maple syrup urine disease including p.R170H (c.509G>A), p.R170G (c.508C>G), and p.R170P (c.509G>C)(Strauss, 2020; O'Reilly, 2021; Wang, 2012; ClinVar database). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
