Genes affected
DBT (HGNC:2698): (dihydrolipoamide branched chain transacylase E2) The branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex (BCKD) is an inner-mitochondrial enzyme complex involved in the breakdown of the branched-chain amino acids isoleucine, leucine, and valine. The BCKD complex is thought to be composed of a core of 24 transacylase (E2) subunits, and associated decarboxylase (E1), dehydrogenase (E3), and regulatory subunits. This gene encodes the transacylase (E2) subunit. Mutations in this gene result in maple syrup urine disease, type 2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Maple syrup urine disease Pathogenic:7
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 02, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu224*) in the DBT gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DBT are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16579849, 16786533). This variant is present in population databases (rs74103423, gnomAD 0.1%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with maple syrup urine disease (PMID: 8430702). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 94009). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJan 29, 2024The p.Glu224X variant (also described as p.Glu163X as a legacy nomenclature) in DBT has been reported in at least 6 individuals in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), where BCKD enzyme activity was markedly reduced in at least 3 individuals (Fisher 1993 PMID: 8430702, Khalifa 2020 PMID: 32812330). This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 94009) and has been identified in 0.09% (37/41420) of African chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v.3.1.2). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 43, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. This is corroborated by in vitro functional studies that show a truncated protein in patients with MSUD compared with full-length wildtype (Fisher 1993 PMID: 8430702). Biallelic loss of function of the DBT gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive MSUD. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive MSUD. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_Moderate, PM3, PS3_Supporting, PP4. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 20, 2024Variant summary: DBT c.670G>T (p.Glu224X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.4e-05 in 251466 control chromosomes. c.670G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Maple Syrup Urine Disease (e.g., Fisher_1993). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 8430702). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 94009). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
