Genes affected
HMGCL (HGNC:5005): (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the HMG-CoA lyase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the final step of leucine degradation and plays a key role in ketone body formation. Mutations in this gene are associated with HMG-CoA lyase deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Deficiency of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase Pathogenic:6
Oct 27, 2023
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 233 of the HMGCL protein (p.His233Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs727503963, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase deficiency (PMID: 9784232, 14518825). 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: 167180). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt HMGCL protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects HMGCL function (PMID: 8798725, 16330550). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: HMGCL c.698A>G (p.His233Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251412 control chromosomes. c.698A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HMG-CoA Lyase Deficiency (Zapater_1998, Menao_2009, Fu_2006). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in undetectable enzyme activity in the fibroblasts and lymphocytes of patients (Roberts_1996, Pospisilova_2003). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 9784232, 19177531, 8798725, 14518825, 16330550). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 167180). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as this variant is associated with less than 1% 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase activity compared to wild-type (Roberts et al., 1996); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19177531, 16330550, 9784232, 14518825, 17692550, 15308132, 22847177, 9463337, 8798725) -

HMGCL-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Mar 15, 2023
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The HMGCL c.698A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.His233Arg. This variant has previously been reported to be causative for HMG-CoA lyase deficiency (Pospísilová E et al 2003. PubMed ID: 14518825; Mitchell GA et al 1998. PubMed ID: 9463337; Menao S et al 2009. PubMed ID: 19177531). This variant is reported in 0.0023% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-24134677-T-C). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
