Genes affected

AMACR (HGNC:451): (alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase) This gene encodes a racemase. The encoded enzyme interconverts pristanoyl-CoA and C27-bile acylCoAs between their (R)- and (S)-stereoisomers. The conversion to the (S)-stereoisomers is necessary for degradation of these substrates by peroxisomal beta-oxidation. Encoded proteins from this locus localize to both mitochondria and peroxisomes. Mutations in this gene may be associated with adult-onset sensorimotor neuropathy, pigmentary retinopathy, and adrenomyeloneuropathy due to defects in bile acid synthesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the upstream neighboring C1QTNF3 (C1q and tumor necrosis factor related protein 3) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

C1QTNF3-AMACR (HGNC:49198): (C1QTNF3-AMACR readthrough (NMD candidate)) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring C1q and tumor necrosis factor related protein 3 (C1QTNF3) and alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) genes on chromosome 5. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is thus not likely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Ser52Pro variant in AMACR has been reported in at least 7 homozygous individuals with alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency, including six with adolescent or adult-onset symptoms and one infant with a severe congenital bile synthesis defect (selected publications: Ferdinandusse 2000 PMID: 10655068, Setchell 2003 PMID: 12512044, Clarke 2004 PMID: 15249642, Thompson 2008 PMID: 18032455, Smith 2010 PMID: 20821052, Dick 2011 PMID: 21576695). This variant has also been identified in 0.07% (50/68000) European chromosomes by gnomAD v3.1.2 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/) and has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 5523). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In vitro functional studies, including using skin fibroblasts from patients, support an impact on protein function (Ferdinandusse 2000 PMID: 10655068, Clarke 2004 PMID: 15249642, Thompson 2008 PMID: 18032455). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PM3, PS3 -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The AMACR c.154T>C (p.Ser52Pro) missense variant has been reported in a homozygous state in seven unrelated patients with alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency, including six with adolescent or adult-onset symptoms and one infant with a severe congenital bile synthesis defect (Ferdinandusse et al. 2000; Setchell et. at. 2003; Clarke et al. 2004; Thompson et al. 2008; Smith et al. 2010; Dick et al. 2011). Four of these patients demonstrated absence of AMACR activity in cultured skin fibroblasts (Ferdinandusse et al. 2000; Clark et al. 2004; Thompson et al. 2008). The p.Ser52Pro variant was absent from 114 control alleles but is reported at a frequency of 0.001343 in the African population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. The recombinant p.Ser52Pro variant protein expressed in E.coli was inactive (Ferdinandusse et al. 2000). Based on the evidence, the p.Ser52Pro variant is classified as pathogenic for alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 52 of the AMACR protein (p.Ser52Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs121917814, gnomAD 0.07%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency (PMID: 10655068, 20821052, 21576695, 21686617, 30369941). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5523). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt AMACR protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects AMACR function (PMID: 10655068). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The AMACR c.154T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser52Pro. This variant has been reported in the homozygous state in multiple individuals with α-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency (Ferdinandusse et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10655068; Smith et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20821052), an individual with autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia (Dick et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21576695), and an individual with leigh-like, optic atrophy, and exercise intolerance (Theunissen et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30369941). Functional in vitro studies showed that this variant negatively affects enzyme activity (Ferdinandusse et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10655068). This variant is reported in 0.071% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.154T>C (p.S52P) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the AMACR gene. This alteration results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 154, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 52 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the AMACR c.154T>C alteration was observed in 0.04% (79/223800) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.07% (68/95942) in the European (non-Finnish) subpopulation. This mutation has been reported in the homozygous state in multiple unrelated patients with clinical and biochemical features of alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency (Ferdinandusse, 2000; Clarke, 2004; Thompson, 2009; Smith, 2010; Dick, 2011; Theunissen, 2018). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Patient fibroblasts showed absent AMACR activity and in vitro functional studies demonstrated that the p.S52P mutation results in an inactive protein (Ferdinandusse, 2000). The p.S52P alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
