Genes affected

BCKDHA (HGNC:986): (branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1 subunit alpha) The branched-chain alpha-keto acid (BCAA) dehydrogenase (BCKD) complex is an innter mitochondrial enzyme complex that catalyzes the second major step in the catabolism of the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. The BCKD complex consists of three catalytic components: a heterotetrameric (alpha2-beta2) branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase (E1), a dihydrolipoyl transacylase (E2), and a dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the decarboxylase (E1) component. Mutations in this gene result in maple syrup urine disease, type IA. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Pathogenic:7

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Counsyl	Nov 03, 2016	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 16, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg40Glyfs*23) in the BCKDHA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BCKDHA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16786533, 22593002). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with maple syrup urine disease (PMID: 16786533, 25333063). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 93342). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	National Newborn Screening Laboratory, Hospital Nacional de Niños	-	This is a frame-shift variant in the BCKDHA gene, where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease. This variant results in a truncated protein by creating a premature stop codon. It has been published in the literature associated with individuals with MSUD (PMID: 16786533, PMID: 25333063, PMID: 26232051). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Oct 18, 2020	Variant summary: BCKDHA c.117delC (p.Arg40GlyfsX23) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 250946 control chromosomes. c.117delC has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Maple Syrup Urine Disease Type 1A (example, Couce_2015, Fernandez_Guerra_2014, Quental_2008, Strauss_2006). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (example, Fernandez_Guerra_2014). The most pronounced variant effect resulted in a loss of detectable levels of protein subunit E1alpha that is encoded by BCKDHA in human dermal fibroblasts from classic MSUD patients. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
