Genes affected
ACAD9 (HGNC:21497): (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family member 9) This gene encodes a member of the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. Members of this family of proteins localize to the mitochondria and catalyze the rate-limiting step in the beta-oxidation of fatty acyl-CoA. The encoded protein is specifically active toward palmitoyl-CoA and long-chain unsaturated substrates. Mutations in this gene cause acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family member type 9 deficiency. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 326 of the ACAD9 protein (p.Ala326Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs115532916, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with ACAD9-related disease (PMID: 21057504, 22200994, 22277967, 26669660, 30025539). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30883). 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 ACAD9 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ACAD9 function (PMID: 25721401). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

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

p.Ala326Pro (GCC>CCC): c.976 G>C in exon 10 of the ACAD9 gene (NM_014049.4). The A326P missense mutation in the ACAD9 gene has been reported previously in association with complex I deficiency. The amnio acid change is semi-conservative because both Alanine and Proline are uncharged, non-polar amino acids, but the introduction of a Proline with its unique ring structure could affect the secondary structure of the ACAD9 protein. This change occurs at a position in the ACAD9 protein that is highly conserved. The variant is found in MITONUC-MITOP panel(s).

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

Variant summary: ACAD9 c.976G>C (p.Ala326Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase/oxidase C-terminal domian (IPR009075) 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 5.2e-05 in 251452 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in ACAD9 causing Mitochondrial Complex I Deficiency (5.2e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.976G>C has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Mitochondrial Complex I Deficiency (Haack_2011, Schiff_2015, Repp_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one in vitro study reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and this variant results in the loss of enzyme ACAD activity (Schiff _2015). Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as benign and pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
