The NM_001370658.1(BTD):c.451G>A (p.Ala151Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.000527 (AC=851) in the gnomAD database across 1,613,968 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.000644. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 10.00). Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (no review stars). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV005076304: At least one publication reports this complex variant results in expected activity 0-10% based on the biotinidase activity in plasma (e.g. Borsatto_2019). PMID:31337602". This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance.

Genes affected
BTD (HGNC:1122): (biotinidase) The protein encoded by this gene functions to recycle protein-bound biotin by cleaving biocytin (biotin-epsilon-lysine), a normal product of carboxylase degradation, resulting in regeneration of free biotin. The encoded protein has also been shown to have biotinyl transferase activity. Mutations in this gene are associated with biotinidase deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 3 points.

O6
Computational evidence supports a deleterious/oncogenic effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer supports an oncogenic/deleterious effect
O7
Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 2 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 25.0); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
O8
Missense in gene/domain constrained for missense variation where missense is common disease mechanism (O8 supporting); Gene/disease mechanism: missense is a common mechanism of oncogenesis; gnomAD missense Z-score: 0.16 (threshold ≥3.09 for constraint); Domain-level constraint: variant is in a critically constrained functional domain (IS_AT_CRITICAL_DOMAIN)
