Genes affected
GCDH (HGNC:4189): (glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. It catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of glutaryl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA and CO(2) in the degradative pathway of L-lysine, L-hydroxylysine, and L-tryptophan metabolism. It uses electron transfer flavoprotein as its electron acceptor. The enzyme exists in the mitochondrial matrix as a homotetramer of 45-kD subunits. Mutations in this gene result in the metabolic disorder glutaric aciduria type 1, which is also known as glutaric acidemia type I. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 12. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]

Variant summary: GCDH c.1144G>A (p.Ala382Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase/oxidase C-terminal domain (IPR009075) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251450 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1144G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Glutaric Acidemia Type 1 (Goodman_1998, Alfadhel_2016, E_2021, Sitta_2021, Martin-Rivada_2022). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrated the variant significantly decreases enzyme activity when expressed in E. coli (Goodman_1998). Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic and two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite it as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 382 of the GCDH protein (p.Ala382Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs567564095, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with glutaric acidemia (PMID: 27629047, 33064266). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 286241). 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 GCDH protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects GCDH function (PMID: 9711871). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The GCDH c.1144G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala382Thr. This variant has been reported in individuals with glutaric acidemia 1 (Goodman et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9711871; Alfadhel et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27629047; Martín-Rivada et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35281663). Experimental studies suggest this variant impacts protein function (Goodman et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9711871). This variant is reported in 0.0080% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-13008578-G-A). Taken together, this variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
