Genes affected
BTD (HGNC:1122): (biotinidase) The protein encoded by this gene functions to recycle protein-bound biotin by cleaving biocytin (biotin-epsilon-lysine), a normal product of carboxylase degradation, resulting in regeneration of free biotin. The encoded protein has also been shown to have biotinyl transferase activity. Mutations in this gene are associated with biotinidase deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 157 of the BTD protein (p.Arg157His). This variant is present in population databases (rs146015592, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with biotinidase deficicency (PMID: 9396567, 11313766, 20224900, 22698809). 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: 38290). 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 expected to disrupt BTD protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

NM_000060.2(BTD):c.470G>A(R157H) is classified as pathogenic in the context of biotinidase deficiency. Please note that R157H is seen in patients with both partial and profound biotinidase deficiency. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 23644139, 11313766, 16435182, 25754625, 9396567, 27329734 and 26361991. Classification of NM_000060.2(BTD):c.470G>A(R157H) is based on the following criteria: This is a well-established pathogenic variant in the literature that has been observed more frequently in patients with clinical diagnoses than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

Variant summary: BTD c.410G>A (p.Arg137His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 250768 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BTD causing Biotinidase Deficiency (0.00011 vs 0.0046), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.410G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with profound or partial Biotinidase Deficiency (e.g. Canda_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29995633). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38290). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

In the published literature, this variant has reported as one of the most common pathogenic variants associated with biotinidase deficiency in Turkish population (PMIDs: 25754625 (2015), 29353266 (2018), and 33189081 (2021)). This variant has been identified in homozygous state or compound heterozygous state with other pathogenic BTD variants in multiple individuals with profound to partial biotinidase deficiency (PMIDs: 9396567 (1997), 10801053 (2000), 11313766 (2001), 16435182 (2005), 22698809 (2012), 25754625 (2015), 27329734, (2016), 29353266 (2018), and 33189081 (2021)). Therefore, this individual is at least a carrier of biotinidase deficiency. -

The c.470G>A (p.R157H) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the BTD gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 470, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 157 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of 0.01% (29/282134) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.019% (24/128710) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other BTD variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with biotinidase deficiency; in at least one instance, the variants were identified in trans (S&uuml;r&uuml;c&uuml; Kara, 2023; Forny, 2022; Tangeraas, 2020; Gannavarapu, 2015; Cowan, 2012; Ohlsson, 2010; M&uuml;hl, 2001; Pomponio, 1997). This amino acid position is not well 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. -
