Genes affected
BCKDHB (HGNC:987): (branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1 subunit beta) This gene encodes the E1 beta subunit of branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase, which is a multienzyme complex associated with the inner membrane of mitochondria. This enzyme complex functions in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids. Mutations in this gene have been associated with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), type 1B, a disease characterized by a maple syrup odor to the urine in addition to mental and physical retardation and feeding problems. Alternative splicing at this locus results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 168 of the BCKDHB protein (p.Arg168His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with maple syrup urine disease (PMID: 16786533, 26232051, 28197878; Invitae). 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: 457149). 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 not expected to disrupt BCKDHB protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Variant summary: BCKDHB c.503G>A (p.Arg168His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Transketolase-like, pyrimidine-binding domain (IPR005475) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251412 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.503G>A has been reported in the literature in both homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Maple Syrup Urine Disease (e.g., Rodriguez-Pombo_2006, Couce_2015, Su_2017). 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, finding that the variant results in <1% BCKD activity in homozygous patient cells (e.g., Rodriguez-Pombo_2006). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26232051, 16786533, 28197878). Three submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic (n = 2) or likely pathogenic (n = 1). Additionally, another missense variant impacting the same amino acid, c.502C>T (p.R168C), has been classified as pathogenic by our lab. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
