Genes affected
ALDH5A1 (HGNC:408): (aldehyde dehydrogenase 5 family member A1) This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. This gene encodes a mitochondrial NAD(+)-dependent succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase. A deficiency of this enzyme, known as 4-hydroxybutyricaciduria, is a rare inborn error in the metabolism of the neurotransmitter 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA). In response to the defect, physiologic fluids from patients accumulate GHB, a compound with numerous neuromodulatory properties. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 197 of the ALDH5A1 protein (p.Val197Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs768219929, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (PMID: 25431891). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 356132). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ALDH5A1 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The ALDH5A1 p.Val197Met variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs768219929) as "With Uncertain significance allele" and in Clinvar (classified as VUS by Ambry Genetics, Illumina Clinical Services, and EGL Diagnostics with the associated conditions of Succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency and inborn genetic diseases). The variant was not identified in Cosmic and LOVD 3.0 databases. The variant was also found in control databases in 12 of 281530 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000043 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017), in the following populations: Latino in 5 of 35406 chromosomes (freq: 0.000141), Other in 1 of 7202 chromosomes (freq: 0.000139), African in 2 of 24914 chromosomes (freq: 0.00008) and European (non-Finnish) in 4 of 128826 chromosomes (freq: 0.000031), while the variant was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish) and South Asian populations. In a case study, genetic analysis of ALDH5A1 was performed for a male child with SSADH deficiency, his parents, and their 10 weeks' gestation at-risk fetus as well as 100 healthy unrelated volunteers. The proband was identified to have compound heterozygous mutations c.496T>C (p.W166R) and c.589G>A (p.V197M). Each of his parents carried a mutation. DNA sequencing of chorionic villus revealed the fetus was a carrier and this was confirmed after birth by genetic analysis of umbilical cord blood and urine organic acid analysis (Liu_2016_PMID: 25431891). The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing (gain of a 5' splice site at c.586). The p.Val197 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Variant summary: ALDH5A1 c.589G>A (p.Val197Met) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Aldehyde dehydrogenase domain (IPR015590) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 250134 control chromosomes. c.589G>A has been reported in the literature in trans along with an apparently VUS missense in an individual affected with Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency (Liu_2016). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Succinic Semialdehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25431891).ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 356132). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
