Genes affected

DDC (HGNC:2719): (dopa decarboxylase) The encoded protein catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to dopamine, L-5-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin and L-tryptophan to tryptamine. Defects in this gene are the cause of aromatic L-amino-acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCD). AADCD deficiency is an inborn error in neurotransmitter metabolism that leads to combined serotonin and catecholamine deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.873
• PP5: Variant 7-50504025-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-50504025-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 17810.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Deficiency of aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Apr 23, 2022	Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17810). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency (PMID: 15079002, 17533144, 20505134, 29851841). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 250 of the DDC protein (p.Ser250Phe). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects DDC function (PMID: 23321058, 24865461, 28973165). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	May 26, 2023	Variant summary: DDC c.749C>T (p.Ser250Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251486 control chromosomes in GnomAD. Homozygous c.749C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Deficiency of Aromatic-L-Amino-Acid Decarboxylase (example: Pons_2004, Veerbeek_2007). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (example: Montioli_ 2003_2014, Caine_2017). The most pronounced variant effect results in a 7-fold reduction of catalytic efficiency of normal activity, and p.Ser250Phe knock-in mice reassemble a mild aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29851841, 15079002, 23321058, 17240182, 24865461, 28973165). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
