Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM5PP2PP3_ModeratePP5

The NM_000016.6(ACADM):​c.526G>T​(p.Ala176Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000385 in 1,612,890 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A176T) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected
ACADM (HGNC:89): (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase medium chain) This gene encodes the medium-chain specific (C4 to C12 straight chain) acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase. The homotetramer enzyme catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Defects in this gene cause medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, a disease characterized by hepatic dysfunction, fasting hypoglycemia, and encephalopathy, which can result in infantile death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_000016.6
PM5

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

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 176 of the ACADM protein (p.Ala176Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs200754053, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with MCAD (internal data). 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: 226093). 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 ACADM protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Variant summary: ACADM c.526G>T (p.Ala176Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Acyl-CoA oxidase/dehydrogenase, middle domain (IPR006091) of the encoded protein sequence. 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. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00017 in 251382 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in ACADM causing Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (0.00017 vs 0.0054), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.526G>T has been observed in individual(s) affected with Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (internal data). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226093). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The ACADM c.526G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala176Ser. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.035% of alleles in individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. An alternate nucleotide substitution affecting the same amino acid (p.Ala176Thr) has been reported in the heterozygous state in an individual with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (reported as p.Ala151Thr in Table 2, Nichols et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18241067). Although we suspect that the c.526G>T (p.Ala176Ser) variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
