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]

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 257 of the GCDH protein (p.Arg257Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs766518430, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with biochemical or enzymatic findings that are highly specific for glutaric aciduria type I (PMID: 9600243, 10699052, 15505393, 18683078, 19433437, 21176883, 21228398, 22728054, 24332224, 25762492; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188872). 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 GCDH protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Arg257Trp variant in GCDH has been reported in at least 9 individuals with glutaric acidemia type 1 and segregated with disease in at least 2 affected individuals from 2 families (Bijarnia 2008 PMID: 18683078, Harting 2009 PMID: 19433437, Mushimoto 2011 PMID: 21176883, Viau 2012 PMID: 22728054, Wang 2014 PMID: 24332224, Schwartz 1998 PMID: 9600243, Lin 2021 PMID: 34344405, Spenger 2021 PMID: 34207159, Paria 2022 PMID: 35662016). It has also been identified in 0.004% (3/68022) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Functional analyses of these individuals showed enzyme deficiency of GCDH (Schwartz 1998 PMID: 9600243, Harting 2009 PMID: 19433437, Mushimoto 2011 PMID: 21176883). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 188872). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Another variant involving this codon (p.Arg257Gln) has been identified in individuals with glutaric acidemia and have been classified as pathogenic by other laboratories. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive glutaric acidemia type 1.

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with glutaric aciduria type I (GA-I, MIM#231670). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity (PMID: 31536184). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to tryptophan. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 for a recessive condition (5 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v2) (6 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, middle domain (DECIPHER). (I) 0703 - Another missense variant comparable to the one identified in this case has moderate previous evidence for pathogenicity. p.(Arg257Gln) has been classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by clinical laboratories in ClinVar. (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by clinical laboratories in ClinVar, and has been observed as compound heterozygous or homozygous in individuals with GA-I (PMIDs: 21176883, 34344405, 25762492, 34207159). (SP) 1101 - Very strong and specific phenotype match for this individual. (SP) 1201 - Heterozygous variant detected in trans with a second pathogenic heterozygous variant (c.281G>A; p.(Arg94Gln)) in a recessive disease. (I) 1206 - This variant has been shown to be paternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Variant summary: GCDH c.769C>T (p.Arg257Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Acyl-CoA oxidase/dehydrogenase, middle domain (IPR006091) 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 2e-05 in 251274 control chromosomes. c.769C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Glutaric Acidemia Type 1 (e.g. Gupta_2015, Bell_2011, Lin_2016, Wang_2014). 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 publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21228398, 25762492, 30904546, 24332224). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188872). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
