Genes affected
BTD (HGNC:1122): (biotinidase) The protein encoded by this gene functions to recycle protein-bound biotin by cleaving biocytin (biotin-epsilon-lysine), a normal product of carboxylase degradation, resulting in regeneration of free biotin. The encoded protein has also been shown to have biotinyl transferase activity. Mutations in this gene are associated with biotinidase deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

Variant summary: BTD c.683T>C (p.Ile228Thr), also reported as c.743T>C (p.Ile248Thr), results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251456 control chromosomes. c.683T>C has been observed simple heterozygous, in the presumed or confirmed compound heterozygous state, or with 2 additional heterozygous variants (phase unknown) in individual(s) affected with clinical or biochemical features of Biotinidase Deficiency (example, Cowan_2012, Procter_2016, Jezela-Stanek_2022, Sharma_2024). In at least 1 individual, this variant was likely trans with a pathogenic variant. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function in patient confirmatory biochemical testing. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity in patient sample(s) (Cowan_2012). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22698809, 26810761, 35627187, 36684547, 38299772). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 25037). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

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

This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 248 of the BTD protein (p.Ile248Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs397514382, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with biotinidase deficiency (PMID: 22698809, 26810761). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 25037). 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 BTD 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

The BTD c.743T>C; p.Ile248Thr variant (rs397514382) is reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with biotinidase deficiency who carried a second, pathogenic variant in BTD (Cowan 2012). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 25037), and is only observed on five alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The isoleucine at codon 248 is highly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Cowan TM et al. Increased incidence of profound biotinidase deficiency among Hispanic newborns in California. Mol Genet Metab. 2012 Aug;106(4):485-7. -

The BTD c.743T>C (p.Ile248Thr) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with biotinidase deficiency (PMIDs: 26810761 (2016), 22698809 (2012)), including a newborn who also carried the Amish founder variant c.1330G>C (p.Asp444His) (PMID: 35627187 (2022)). The variant has been shown to result in low levels of biotinidise enzyme activity, however further experimental evidence is needed (PMID: 26810761 (2016), 22698809 (2012)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00002 (5/251456 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. 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. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -
