Genetic Variant MT-ND5:p.Asp393His (chrM-13513-GAC-CAT) – ACMG Classification: Uncertain_significance (4 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is The variant received 4 classification points (ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019). PM2PM5

The unassigned_transcript_4815(ND5):c.1177_1179delGACinsCAT (p.Asp393His) variant causes a missense change. Note: unassigned_transcript_4815 is not a MANE Select or MANE Plus Clinical transcript for ND5; the reported annotation may differ from that of the MANE-designated reference transcript for this gene. No reliable population frequency data is available for this variant in the Mitomap database. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 9.29). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.D393N: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 9702, 3 stars)

Genes affected

MT-ND5 (HGNC:7461): (NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5) Enables NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) activity. Involved in mitochondrial electron transport, NADH to ubiquinone and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Part of respiratory chain complex I. Implicated in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; Leigh disease; and MELAS syndrome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 points.

Show applied only (2)

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Absent from Mitomap — mitochondrial genome is well-covered; PM2; Absent from Mitomap — mitochondrial genome is well-covered; absence means frequency ≈ 0 (PM2).
	PM5Novel missense at known pathogenic residue		Different pathogenic missense at same AA residue in ClinVar (PM5); ClinVar contains a germline Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic entry at the same amino acid position with a different amino acid change: p.D393N: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 9702, 3 stars)
