Genes affected
ALDH5A1 (HGNC:408): (aldehyde dehydrogenase 5 family member A1) This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. This gene encodes a mitochondrial NAD(+)-dependent succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase. A deficiency of this enzyme, known as 4-hydroxybutyricaciduria, is a rare inborn error in the metabolism of the neurotransmitter 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA). In response to the defect, physiologic fluids from patients accumulate GHB, a compound with numerous neuromodulatory properties. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
ALDH5A1 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):
  • succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -5 ACMG points.

PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 55 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 13 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.73405 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.28023 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.30205104).
BP6
Variant 6-24528034-C-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr6-24528034-C-G is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 459975.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00019 (29/152274) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.00124 (19/15302). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000813. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 17 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.

The c.1211C>G (p.A404G) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the ALDH5A1 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1211, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 404 to be replaced by a glycine (G). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
