Genes affected

PCCA (HGNC:8653): (propionyl-CoA carboxylase subunit alpha) The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit of the heterodimeric mitochondrial enzyme Propionyl-CoA carboxylase. PCCA encodes the biotin-binding region of this enzyme. Mutations in either PCCA or PCCB (encoding the beta subunit) lead to an enzyme deficiency resulting in propionic acidemia. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -20 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.6).
• BP6: Variant 13-100235868-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr13-100235868-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 198708.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr13-100235868-A-G is described in Lovd as [Benign].
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (NFE) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.175 is higher than 0.05.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

Variant summary: The PCCA c.627A>G (p.Ala209Ala) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide causing a synonymous change that 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 17901/121368 control chromosomes (1483 homozygotes) at a frequency of 0.1474936, which is approximately 43 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic PCCA variant (0.003446), strong evidence that this variant is a benign polymorphism. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -
