Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 3P and 6B. PM1PP2BP4_StrongBP6BS2_Supporting

The NM_001370658.1(BTD):​c.202C>G​(p.Gln68Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00205 in 1,614,198 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 10 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Q68H) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
BTD (HGNC:1122): (biotinidase) The protein encoded by this gene functions to recycle protein-bound biotin by cleaving biocytin (biotin-epsilon-lysine), a normal product of carboxylase degradation, resulting in regeneration of free biotin. The encoded protein has also been shown to have biotinyl transferase activity. Mutations in this gene are associated with biotinidase deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_001370658.1
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 88 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 9 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -0.52516 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.15371 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Leigh syndrome, biotinidase deficiency.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.011463761).
BP6
Variant 3-15635641-C-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-15635641-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 385308.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 9 AR geneVariant has number of homozygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Inborn genetic diseases Benign:1
May 06, 2022
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
