Genes affected
ALDH5A1 (HGNC:408): (aldehyde dehydrogenase 5 family member A1) This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. This gene encodes a mitochondrial NAD(+)-dependent succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase. A deficiency of this enzyme, known as 4-hydroxybutyricaciduria, is a rare inborn error in the metabolism of the neurotransmitter 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA). In response to the defect, physiologic fluids from patients accumulate GHB, a compound with numerous neuromodulatory properties. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingFulgent Genetics, Fulgent GeneticsJan 26, 2022- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 16, 2022This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 494 of the ALDH5A1 protein (p.Glu494Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs374232934, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of ALDH5A1-related conditions (PMID: 28191889). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 529480). 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 ALDH5A1 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. -
