Genes affected
ACADM (HGNC:89): (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase medium chain) This gene encodes the medium-chain specific (C4 to C12 straight chain) acyl-Coenzyme A dehydrogenase. The homotetramer enzyme catalyzes the initial step of the mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation pathway. Defects in this gene cause medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, a disease characterized by hepatic dysfunction, fasting hypoglycemia, and encephalopathy, which can result in infantile death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency Pathogenic:2Uncertain:2

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 80 of the ACADM protein (p.Arg80Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs758476299, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (PMID: 31012112). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226108). 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 ACADM 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
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: ACADM c.238A>G (p.Arg80Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251106 control chromosomes. c.238A>G has been observed in the compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (Jager_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very 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 reduced catalytic efficiency (Madeira_2023). This variant is also known as p.R55G. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31012112, 37257730). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226108). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
