Maple syrup urine disease    Pathogenic:6 
The DBT c.827T>G (p.Phe276Cys) missense variant has been reported in five studies in which it is found in a total of seven probands with either the thiamine-responsive subtype of maple syrup urine disease MSUD (type II), or the classic form, all in a compound heterozygous state (Fisher et al. 1991; Chuang et al. 1997; Henneke et al. 2003; RodrÃguez-Pombo et al. 2006; Narayanan et al. 2013). The p.Phe276Cys variant was absent from 250 controls and is reported at a frequency of 0.00035 in the European American population of the Exome Sequencing Project. Many of the studies suggest a strong genotype-phenotype correlation with the p.Phe276Cys variant and a thiamine-responsive MSUD phenotype. Functional studies on four of the seven individuals with this variant showed enzyme activity between 3 – 40% compared to wild type activity (Chuang et al. 1997; RodrÃguez-Pombo et al. 2006). Based on the collective evidence, the p.Phe276Cys variant is classified as pathogenic for maple syrup urine disease. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 276 of the DBT protein (p.Phe276Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs121964999, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with maple syrup urine disease (PMID: 1847055, 14517957, 16786533, 24772966). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as c.825T>G, p.Phe215Cys. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11943). 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 DBT protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect DBT function (PMID: 1847055). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Variant summary: DBT c.827T>G (p.Phe276Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 251448 control chromosomes. c.827T>G has been reported in the literature along with different pathogenic variants in at-least three individuals affected with Maple Syrup Urine Disease (example, Fisher_1991, Soriano-Sexto_2020, Strauss_2020). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 1847055, 36361642, 31980395). Eight submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
