Genes affected
BCKDHB (HGNC:987): (branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1 subunit beta) This gene encodes the E1 beta subunit of branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase, which is a multienzyme complex associated with the inner membrane of mitochondria. This enzyme complex functions in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids. Mutations in this gene have been associated with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), type 1B, a disease characterized by a maple syrup odor to the urine in addition to mental and physical retardation and feeding problems. Alternative splicing at this locus results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 170 of the BCKDHB protein (p.Arg170His). This variant is present in population databases (rs371518124, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with BCKDHB-related conditions (PMID: 22326532; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 96591). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. This variant disrupts the p.Arg170 amino acid residue in BCKDHB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 25381949, 26453840, 27682710). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BCKDHB c.509G>A (p.Arg170His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Transketolase-like, pyrimidine-binding domain (IPR005475) 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 3.2e-05 in 251526 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication data). c.509G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Maple Syrup Urine Disease, including two homozygotes (Wang_2012, Miryounesi_2015, Strauss_2020, OReilly_2020). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (n=1) and pathogenic (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
