Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PP4_ModeratePM3_StrongPP1_StrongPS3_SupportingPM5PP3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The ETHE1 c.487C>T mutation is a missense mutation at the 163 amino acid position where one other pathogenic mutation has been reported (c.488G>A) indicating that this residue is critical to the function of the protein (PM5_moderate). There are multiple lines of computational evidence supporting a deleterious effect (PP3_supporting). Functional studies performed in ETHE1 isolated from E-coli cells demonstrated 10 fold reduced ETHE1 catalytic activity when compared to controls (PS3_supporting; PMID:25198162). The c.487C>T mutation has been reported in four unrelated affected individuals including three who were homozygous for the mutation (PMID:16183799; PMID:16828325; PMID:28698729) and one proband where the c. 487C>T was found in trans with another reportedly pathogenic ETHE1 mutation (PMID:18593870) (PM3_strong). One of these patients demonstrated a clinical phenotype specific to ethylmalonic encephalopathy including chronic diarrhea, petechiae, acrocyanosis, and developmental delay in addition to the biochemical findings urinary ethylmalonic acid and elevated blood C4-acylcarnitine esters and blood C5-acylcarnitines (PP4_moderate; PMID:16828325). A larger family including 7 children has been reported where homozygous c.487C>T mutation was identified in the three affected siblings and segregated with disease in the unaffected siblings (PP1_strong; PMID:14732903). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for ethylmalonic encephalopathy in an autosomal recessive manner. ETHE1-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied PM5_moderate; PP3_supporting; PS3_supporting; PM3_strong; PP4_moderate; PP1_strong.

Genes affected
ETHE1 (HGNC:23287): (ETHE1 persulfide dioxygenase) This gene encodes a member of the metallo beta-lactamase family of iron-containing proteins involved in the mitochondrial sulfide oxidation pathway. The encoded protein catalyzes the oxidation of a persulfide substrate to sulfite. Certain mutations in this gene cause ethylmalonic encephalopathy, an infantile metabolic disorder affecting the brain, gastrointestinal tract and peripheral vessels. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
