Medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency Pathogenic:8

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 266 of the ACADM protein (p.Asp266Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs201375579, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency (PMID: 19224950, 19780764, 22542437; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203540). 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 not expected to disrupt ACADM protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ACADM function (PMID: 19224950, 24718418). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
The ACADM c.797A>G; p.Asp266Gly variant (rs201375579) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals with a diagnosis or suspicion of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency that also carried a second pathogenic variant (Anderson 2020, Hsu 2008, Maier 2005, Weiss 2023). The p.Asp266Gly variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.03% (80/251,388 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.733). Consistent with predictions, functional studies indicate the variant protein has reduced stability and decreased activity relative to wildtype ACADM (Jank 2014, Maier 2009). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Anderson DR et al.

Variant summary: ACADM c.797A>G (p.Asp266Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Acyl-CoA oxidase/dehydrogenase, middle domain (IPR006091) of 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 0.00032 in 251388 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in ACADM causing Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (0.00032 vs 0.0054), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.797A>G has been reported in the literature in compound heterozygous individuals affected with Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency, often with a milder level of enzyme deficiency reported (e.g. Maier_2005, Hsu_2008, Smith_2010, Andresen_2012, Anderson_2020, Tucci_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Experimental studies have found that the variant has 20-50% activity compared to the wild-type protein and is also less stable under thermal stress likely due to local protein unfolding (e.g. Maier_2009, Jank_2014). Ten submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and the majority have classified the variant as pathogenic (n=6) or likely pathogenic (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The variant has been reported along with a known ACADM pathogenic variant in newborns with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency in the published literature (PMIDs: 15832312 (2005), 19780764 (2009), 20434380 (2010), 22542437 (2012), and 27477829 (2016)). However, the biochemical effect of this variant on individuals varies and is not clear (PMID: 20434380 (2010)). Functional studies have reported that this variant results in enzyme misfolding and partial reduction of its activity (48% of wild type) (PMIDs: 19224950 (2009) and 24718418 (2014)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is disease causing or benign. -
Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect including reduced residual enzyme activity compared to wildtype and protein misfolding similar to the classic p.(K329E) pathogenic variant (PMID: 19224950, 24718418); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27477829, 31980526, 25087612, 24718418, 15832312, 22542437, 28492532, 20434380, 19780764, 32778825, 31589614, 33580884, 36840705, 19224950) -

ACADM-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The ACADM c.797A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asp266Gly. This variant has been reported in patients identified based on abnormal newborn screening results suggestive of medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) (Maier et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 15832312; Andresen et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22542437; Bentler et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27477829). It is unclear whether the c.797A>G (p.Asp266Gly) variant is associated with a clinical phenotype (Smith et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20434380). We have observed this variant at PreventionGenetics in the heterozygous state with a second pathogenic variant in several patients identified via newborn screening. In two functional studies, the p.Asp266Gly substitution was reported to have a severe effect on enzyme activity and protein stability, comparable to that observed from the known severe p.Lys329Glu substitution (Maier et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19224950; Jank et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24718418). In summary, we classify this variant as pathogenic. -
