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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesOct 21, 2022The ECHS1 c.5C>T; p.Ala2Val variant (rs587776498) is reported in the literature in the compound heterozygous state in several individuals affected with Leigh syndrome (Kuwajima 2021, Ogawa 2020, Sakai 2015, Sato-Shirai 2021, Stenton 2022, Sun 2020, Uesugi 2020, Yang 2022). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 156434), but is only observed on three alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The alanine at codon 2 is weakly conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.604). However, functional analyses of the variant protein show decreased expression and enzyme activity (Sakai 2015). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.

not provided Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 22, 2023This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 2 of the ECHS1 protein (p.Ala2Val). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ECHS1-related conditions (PMID: 25393721, 32677908, 33139125, 33163364). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 156434). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Studies have shown that this missense change alters ECHS1 gene expression (PMID: 25393721). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 04, 2019Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as A2V was associated with a reduction in protein expression and enzyme activity (Sakai et al., 2015); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25393721, 31967322, 33139125, 32677908, 33163364) -
