This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 323 of the BTD protein (p.His323Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs397507176, gnomAD 1.7%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individuals with partial BTD deficiency who showed 10-30% of normal BTD enzymatic activity (PMID: 9654207, 26361991). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38278). 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 BTD protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BTD function (PMID: 9654207, 24797656). 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. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.5, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with biotinidase deficiency (MIM#253260). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. The condition associated with this gene is known to range from partial, with milder symptoms and later onset, to profound, with more severe symptoms and earlier onset. Also, individuals with the same genotype have been observed to have different clinical and biochemical phenotypes (PMIDs: 20301497, 28498829). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from histidine to arginine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0305 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v4) >=0.01 and <0.03 for a recessive condition (1489 heterozygotes, 24 homozygotes). (I) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and high conservation. (I) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated biotinidase_like domain (NCBI). (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been observed in multiple individuals with a second reported BTD variant (phasing unclear), who were affected with partial biotinidase deficiency (10-30% of normal BTD enzymatic activity) (PMIDs: 35195902, 9654207, 26361991, 32300527, 38141137, 27329734). This variant has also been reported as likely pathogenic/pathogenic and as a VUS by clinical laboratories in ClinVar. (SP) 1201 - Heterozygous variant detected in trans with a second pathogenic heterozygous variant (NM_001323582.1(BTD):c.1270G>C; p.(Asp424His)) in a recessive disease. (I) 1205 - This variant has been shown to be maternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
not provided Pathogenic:2Uncertain:2
The variant has been described in two heterozygous cases with a severe genotype (PMID: 33217065 (2021)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Taking into account the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
The phenotype of individuals homozygous for p.(H303R) is unclear, as it is observed in apparent homozygous state in multiple unrelated individuals in large population cohorts (gnomAD) and healthy adult individuals tested at GeneDx; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Also known as c.968A>G; p.(H323R); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31191208, 24066991, 27535533, 28498829, 27657684, 27014582, 26810761, 22698809, 9654207, 26361991, 11668630, 32300527, 36684547, 35195902, 27329734, 17382128, 24797656) -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
The c.968A>G (p.H323R) alteration is located in coding exon 4 of the BTD gene. This alteration results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 968, causing the histidine (H) at amino acid position 323 to be replaced by an arginine (R). The BTD c.968A>G alteration has been reported previously in the compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with enzyme levels consistent with partial biotinidase deficiency (Swango, 1998; Li, 2014, Gannavarapu, 2015; Wiltink, 2016; Mardhiah, 2020). The c.968A>G (p.H323R) alteration is considered a hypomorphic allele and only causes disease when in trans with a more severe allele (Lek, 2015). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: BTD c.908A>G (p.His303Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0021 in 251360 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.017 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 8 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 3.72 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in BTD causing Biotinidase Deficiency phenotype (0.0046). c.908A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Biotinidase Deficiency (e.g. Swango_1998, Al-Jasmi_2016, Mardhiah_2020, Karaoglan_2020, Forny_2022, Sharma_2024, Yilmaz_2024). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Biotinidase Deficiency. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26589311, 9654207, 33217065, 32300527, 35195902, 38299772, 38141137). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38278). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
