Genes affected
BCKDHA (HGNC:986): (branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1 subunit alpha) The branched-chain alpha-keto acid (BCAA) dehydrogenase (BCKD) complex is an innter mitochondrial enzyme complex that catalyzes the second major step in the catabolism of the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. The BCKD complex consists of three catalytic components: a heterotetrameric (alpha2-beta2) branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase (E1), a dihydrolipoyl transacylase (E2), and a dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the decarboxylase (E1) component. Mutations in this gene result in maple syrup urine disease, type IA. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Maple syrup urine disease Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 02, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 315 of the BCKDHA protein (p.Arg315Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs373336888, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BCKDHA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 522678). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BCKDHA protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 15, 2022Variant summary: BCKDHA c.943C>T (p.Arg315Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Dehydrogenase, E1 component domain (IPR001017) 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 6.4e-05 in 251270 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BCKDHA causing Maple Syrup Urine Disease (6.4e-05 vs 0.0017), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.943C>T in individuals affected with Maple Syrup Urine Disease and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as likely pathogenic, without providing evidence for independent evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
