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]

Maple syrup urine disease Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 12, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 170 of the BCKDHB protein (p.Arg170Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs371518124, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BCKDHB-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 96592). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). This variant disrupts the p.Arg170 amino acid residue in BCKDHB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22326532; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 13, 2022The c.509G>C (p.R170P) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the BCKDHB gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 509, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 170 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on data from gnomAD, the C allele has an overall frequency of <0.01% (5/251426) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.01% (5/34592) of Latino alleles. This variant was identified as homozygous in an individual affected with Maple syrup urine disease (Clinvar database). In addition, multiple different variants at this position have been described in patients with Maple syrup urine disease including p.R170H, p.R170C, and p.R170G (Li, 2018; Abiri, 2019; Strauss, 2020; O'Reilly, 2021). Based on internal structural analysis, the p.R170P variant was determined to be more destabilizing than these previously reported variants (Ambry internal data). 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 likely pathogenic. -
