Genes affected

GCDH (HGNC:4189): (glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. It catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of glutaryl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA and CO(2) in the degradative pathway of L-lysine, L-hydroxylysine, and L-tryptophan metabolism. It uses electron transfer flavoprotein as its electron acceptor. The enzyme exists in the mitochondrial matrix as a homotetramer of 45-kD subunits. Mutations in this gene result in the metabolic disorder glutaric aciduria type 1, which is also known as glutaric acidemia type I. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 12. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: GCDH c.1115G>A (p.Arg372Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. 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. The variant was absent in 251480 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1115G>A has been observed in individuals affected with Glutaric Acidemia Type 1 (e.g., Busquets_2000, Cource_2013, Labcorp (formerly Invitae)). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Fibroblasts from a patient compound heterozygous with a pathogenic frameshift variant showed <0.5% of normal enzymatic activity (Busquets_2000). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 10960496, 37020324, 23395213). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 557606). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 372 of the GCDH protein (p.Arg372Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with glutaric acidemia type 1 (PMID: 10960496, 23395213; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 557606). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on GCDH protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
