This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.1376G>A variant is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by glutamine at amino acid 459 (p.Arg459Gln). This variant has been reported in at least 11 individuals with very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency in the literature with either significantly reduced VLCAD activity or increased C14:1 acylcarnitine levels, with two individuals displaying both reduced VLCAD activity and increased C14:1 acylcarnitine levels, which is highly specific for VLCAD deficiency (PP4_moderate; PMID:30194637; PMID:21429517; PMID:19327992). In these individuals, the variant was detected three times in the homozygous state plus 1 confirmed in-trans and 5 not confirmed in-trans with the pathogenic variant c.848T>C (PM3_strong; PMID:30194637; PMID:21429517). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00004646 in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel threshold (<0.001) for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). The variant is located in a well-studied dimerization domain which is critical for the protein's dimer interaction (PM1; PMID:14517516). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.864, which is above the threshold of 0.75, evidence that correlates with impact to ACADVL function (PP3). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive VLCAD deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel: PP4_Moderate; PM3_Strong; PM2_Supporting; PM1; PP3 (ACADVL VCEP specifications version 1; approved November 8, 2021).

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 459 of the ACADVL protein (p.Arg459Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs751995154, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with VLCAD deficiency, several of them being clinically asymptomatic (PMID: 14517516, 19327992, 21429517, 23798014, 30194637). This variant is also known as p.Arg419Gln. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203585). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ACADVL protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

A heterozygous missense variant in exon 14 of the ACADVL gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Glutamine for Arginine at codon 459 (p.Arg459Gln) was detected. The observed variant has previously been reported in patients affected with VLCAD deficiency and functional characterization of patient fibroblasts indicates significant reduction in VLCAD enzymatic activity [PMID: 19327992]. The variant has not been reported in the 1000 genomes database and has a minor allele frequency of 0.003%, 0.002% and 0.003% in the gnomAD (v3.1), gnomdAD (v2), and topmed databases respectively. The in-silico predictions of the variant are probably damaging by PolyPhen-2 (HumDiv), SIFT, LRT and MutationTaster2. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

The ACADVL c.1376G>A; p.Arg459Gln variant (rs751995154), also known as p.Arg419Gln in traditional nomenclature, is reported in the literature in individuals with Very Long-Chain Acyl-Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency (Laforet 2009, McGoey 2011, Miller 2015, Spiekerkoetter 2003, Waisbren 2013) and has been found in trans to other pathogenic variants (McGoey 2011, Spiekerkoetter 2003). Functional characterization of patient fibroblasts indicates significant reduction in VLCAD enzymatic activity (Laforet 2009). This variant is reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 203585), and it is found on only eight chromosomes (8/282800 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at residue 459 is highly conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.864). Additional, another variant at the same codon (p.Arg459Trp) has been reported in individuals with VLCAD deficiency and is considered pathogenic (Andresen 1999, Miller 2015). Based on the above information, the p.Arg459Gln variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Andresen B et al.

Variant summary: ACADVL c.1376G>A (p.Arg459Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase/oxidase, C-terminal domain (IPR009075) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 251410 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 4.4e-05 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. c.1376G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Very Long Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (example, Bozovic_2021, Capalbo_2019, Lin_2020,2023, Savarese_2014, Spiekerkoetter_2003). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34106991, 31589614, 30904546, 32710939, 25214167, 14517516). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203585). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
ACADVL-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The ACADVL c.1376G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg459Gln. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCADD), the majority of which have been identified via newborn screening (Spiekerkoetter et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 14517516; McGoey and Marble. 2011. PubMed ID: 21429517; Miller et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26385305). Only a few patients with the c.1376G>A variant have been reported to be clinically symptomatic (Laforêt et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19327992; Waisbren et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23798014; Savarese et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25214167). Available splicing prediction algorithms (SpliceAI; Alamut Visual v1.6.1) indicate that this variant may create a novel splice acceptor site within ACADVL exon 14 (based on transcript NM_000018.3). However, it should be noted that such predictions are not equivalent to functional evidence. This variant is reported in 0.0046% of alleles in individuals of European (non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has been classified as pathogenic by the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel and most submitters in clinvar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/203585/). Based on collective evidence, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
The c.1376G>A (p.R459Q) alteration is located in exon 14 (coding exon 14) of the ACADVL gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1376, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 459 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). This alteration has been reported in the compound heterozygous and homozygous states in multiple individuals diagnosed with very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCADD) (Hesse, 2018; Laforêt, 2009; McGoey, 2011; Spiekerkoetter, 2003; Waisbren, 2013). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; In silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21429517, 25214167, 32710939, 14517516, 26385305, 23798014, 19327992, 31589614, 34106991) -
