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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 346 of the BCKDHA protein (p.Arg346His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with BCKDHA-related conditions (PMID: 16786533). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 93336). 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 BCKDHA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg346 amino acid residue in BCKDHA. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with BCKDHA-related conditions (PMID: 16786533, 21844576, 22593002), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
