Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PS3PM2PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000126.4(ETFA):​c.797C>T​(p.Thr266Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000621 in 1,611,018 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000238819: Expression studies demonstrate a decrease in enzyme activity (Salazar et al., 1997)" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T266T) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
ETFA (HGNC:3481): (electron transfer flavoprotein subunit alpha) ETFA participates in catalyzing the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation. It shuttles electrons between primary flavoprotein dehydrogenases and the membrane-bound electron transfer flavoprotein ubiquinone oxidoreductase. Defects in electron-transfer-flavoprotein have been implicated in type II glutaricaciduria in which multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies result in large excretion of glutaric, lactic, ethylmalonic, butyric, isobutyric, 2-methyl-butyric, and isovaleric acids. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000238819: Expression studies demonstrate a decrease in enzyme activity (Salazar et al., 1997);; SCV002822200: PS3:Supporting; SCV000393968: Functional studies demonstrated that the p.Thr266Met variant protein showed an altered flavin environment and reduced enzyme activity (Salazar et. al. 1997). Fatty acid oxidation assays in patient fibroblasts showed the variant resulted in a severely defective beta-oxidation flux, with 3% to 26% of oxidation compared to controls (Freneaux et al. 1992; Olsen et. al. 2003).; SCV001227041: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ETFA function (PMID: 9334218).; SCV003928794: Experimental evidence demonstrated the variant affects protein function (Salazar_1997, van Rijt_2019).; SCV004719155: The p.Thr266Met amino acid substitution has been reported to disrupt the FAD binding site, and results in a great decrease in ETF activity (Schiff et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16510302; Henriques et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20674745).; SCV006231859: Functional studies suggest a loss of function effect; however, additional evidence is needed to confirm these findings (Salazar, 1997; Augustin, 2018).
