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]

Variant summary: BCKDHB c.403G>A (p.Gly135Arg) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251200 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.403G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Maple Syrup Urine Disease Type 1B (Henneke_2003, Rodriguez-Pombo_2006, Narayanan_2013). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Two studies have measured the BCKD enzyme activity in patients with the variant and found it to be <5% of the normal levels (Henneke_2003; Rodriguez-Pombo_2006). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified it as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 135 of the BCKDHB protein (p.Gly135Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs751953459, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with maple syrup urine disease (PMID: 14517957, 16786533, 24772966). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496569). 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 BCKDHB protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The BCKDHB c.403G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly135Arg. This variant was reported in the compound heterozygous state in two individuals with maple syrup urine disease (Henneke et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 14517957; Narayanan et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24772966). Biochemical studies suggest this variant impacts protein activity (Henneke et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 14517957). This variant is reported in 0.00088% of alleles in individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
