Genes affected

ALDH7A1 (HGNC:877): (aldehyde dehydrogenase 7 family member A1) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of subfamily 7 in the aldehyde dehydrogenase gene family. These enzymes are thought to play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. This particular member has homology to a previously described protein from the green garden pea, the 26g pea turgor protein. It is also involved in lysine catabolism that is known to occur in the mitochondrial matrix. Recent reports show that this protein is found both in the cytosol and the mitochondria, and the two forms likely arise from the use of alternative translation initiation sites. An additional variant encoding a different isoform has also been found for this gene. Mutations in this gene are associated with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy. Several related pseudogenes have also been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

ALDH7A1 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.040123455 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.3, offset of 5, new splice context is: taattcttaatttacgccAGtgt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-126592730-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-126592730-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 410540.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr5-126592730-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Apr 11, 2023	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jul 04, 2016	This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 2 of the ALDH7A1 gene. It is expected to disrupt mRNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a ALDH7A1-related disease. In summary, donor and acceptor splice site variants are typically truncating (PMID: 16199547), and truncating variants in ALDH7A1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16491085). However, without additional functional and/or genetic data, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
