Genes affected
ETFDH (HGNC:3483): (electron transfer flavoprotein dehydrogenase) This gene encodes a component of the electron-transfer system in mitochondria and is essential for electron transfer from a number of mitochondrial flavin-containing dehydrogenases to the main respiratory chain. Mutations in this gene are associated with glutaric acidemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 84 of the ETFDH protein (p.Ala84Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs121964954, gnomAD 0.2%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with late-onset, riboflavine-responsive form of MADD (PMID: 19249206, 20370797, 21347544, 22013910, 24357026, 27000805, 27270537). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12028). 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 ETFDH protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ETFDH function (PMID: 27935074). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: ETFDH c.250G>A (p.Ala84Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00014 in 251434 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in ETFDH causing Glutaric Aciduria, Type 2c (0.00014 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.250G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with lateonset multiple acylcoenzyme A dehydrogenation deficiency, including as a homozygote or heterozygote phenotype without second variants reported (e.g. Liu_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function in Etfdh-(h)A84T knock-in mice, showing reduced protein levels in muscle and liver with vitamin B2 deficiency, and clinical and biochemical profiles similar to human patients affected with riboflavin-responsive multiple acylcoenzyme A dehydrogenation deficiency (e.g. Xu_2018). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27270537, 30232818). Eight submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, classifying the variant as pathogenic (n=7) or likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000012028, PMID:19249206, PS1_S). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (3billion dataset, PM3_M). A different missense change at the same codon has been reported to be associated with ETFDH related disorder (PMID:23628458, PM5_P). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.886, 3CNET: 0.925, PP3_P). A missense variant is a common mechanism associated with Glutaric acidemia IIC (PP2_P). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000127, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Functional studies in an A84T knock-in mouse model found this variant was associated with lower steady state levels of ETF:QO protein and increased acylcarnitine concentration in muscle that was riboflavin-dependent, consistent with findings in muscle cells from affected individuals (Xu J et al., 2018); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27060313, 20370797, 25119904, 24357026, 21347544, 22013910, 19249206, 27000805, 24522293, 19265687, 29961769, 29615056, 28950901, 31058673, 31852447, 32190638, 27935074, 32778825, 33639866, 32005694, 33589341, 29046209, 27270537, 30709034, 30232818) -
