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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 183 of the BCKDHB protein (p.Arg183Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs79761867, gnomAD 0.5%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with maple syrup urine disease (PMID: 11509994, 26257134). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11937). 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 BCKDHB protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg183 amino acid residue in BCKDHB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22593002). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BCKDHB c.548G>C (p.Arg183Pro) missense variant has been identified in a total of seven individuals diagnosed with maple syrup urine disease, including five who were homozygous for the variant and two who were compound heterozygous (Edelmann et al. 2001; Carecchio et al. 2011). All of these individuals were of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Edelmann et al. (2001) also identified the variant in a heterozygous state in 9/1014 Ashkenazi Jewish individuals from the New York metro area, indicating a carrier frequency of 1/113 in this population. The p.Arg183Pro variant is reported at a frequency of 0.00047 in the European-American population of the Exome Sequencing Project. The Arg183 residue is conserved. Based on the evidence, the p.Arg183Pro variant is classified as pathogenic for maple syrup urine disease. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

DNA sequence analysis of the BCKDHB gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.548G>C, in exon 5 that results in an amino acid change, p.Arg183Pro. This sequence change has been described in the EXAC database with a low population frequency of 0.02% (dbSNP rs79761867). This pathogenic sequence change has previously been described in patients with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD). The p.Arg183Pro change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the BCKDHB protein that is known to be functional. The p.Arg183Pro substitution appears to be deleterious using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). This variant is a reported to be a common pathogenic variant in the Ashkenazi Jewish population (PMID: 11509994). Other variants involving this codon have been reported in association with MSUD [OMIM#.248600]. -

The c.548G>C (p.R183P) 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 548, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 183 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the BCKDHB c.548G>C alteration was observed in 0.02% (62/282734) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.53% (55/10368) in the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation. This alteration has been reported in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in patients with maple syrup urine disease and is a common founder mutation in the Ashkenazi Jewish population (Edelmann, 2001; Gupta, 2015). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Functional studies demonstrate that this alteration affects protein activity and stability in a temperature-dependent manner (Wynn, 2001). The p.R183P alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
