Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PVS1
The ENST00000370841.9(ACADM):c.1012_1013insTAGAATGAGTTAC(p.Gln338LeufsTer3) variant causes a frameshift, stop gained change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]
