Genes affected

ALDH7A1 (HGNC:877): (aldehyde dehydrogenase 7 family member A1) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of subfamily 7 in the aldehyde dehydrogenase gene family. These enzymes are thought to play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. This particular member has homology to a previously described protein from the green garden pea, the 26g pea turgor protein. It is also involved in lysine catabolism that is known to occur in the mitochondrial matrix. Recent reports show that this protein is found both in the cytosol and the mitochondria, and the two forms likely arise from the use of alternative translation initiation sites. An additional variant encoding a different isoform has also been found for this gene. Mutations in this gene are associated with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy. Several related pseudogenes have also been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 122 of the ALDH7A1 protein (p.Arg122Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs370624118, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 204863). 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 expected to disrupt ALDH7A1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: ALDH7A1 c.364C>T (p.Arg122Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Aldehyde dehydrogenase domain (IPR015590) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 9.1e-05 in 251474 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in ALDH7A1 causing Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy (9.1e-05 vs 0.0018), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.364C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy, and was shown to segregate with disease in two affected brothers (example, Coughlin_2019, Jiao_2020, Jiao_2021, McKnight_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrated the enzyme activity of the variant to be 81% of wild type (Coughlin_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25969726, 30043187, 31737911, 33868381, 34926809). Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 (Pathogenic, n=1, VUS, n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R122W variant (also known as c.364C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the ALDH7A1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 364. The arginine at codon 122 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. The in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.009% (26/282864) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.031% (11/35440) of Latino alleles. This variant has been identified in conjunction with other ALDH7A1 variants in individuals with features consistent with autosomal recessive pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy; in at least one instance, the variants were identified in trans (Coughlin, 2019; Jiao, 2021). -
