Genes affected
ECHS1 (HGNC:3151): (enoyl-CoA hydratase, short chain 1) The protein encoded by this gene functions in the second step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. It catalyzes the hydration of 2-trans-enoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) intermediates to L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoAs. The gene product is a member of the hydratase/isomerase superfamily. It localizes to the mitochondrial matrix. Transcript variants utilizing alternative transcription initiation sites have been described in the literature. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Start-lost is reinitiation of translation may occur at a downstream alternate start codon but still result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function as there have been pathogenic variants reported upstream of the alterante start codon. Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 25393721). The variant has been reported to be associated with ECHS1-related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000156433 / PMID: 25393721). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

This variant disrupts a region of the ECHS1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Ala2Val) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 25393721, 32677908, 33139125, 33163364). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. Studies have shown that disruption of the initiator codon alters ECHS1 gene expression (PMID: 25393721). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 156433). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with Leigh syndrome (PMID: 25393721). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the ECHS1 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 103. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
