Genes affected
DHTKD1 (HGNC:23537): (dehydrogenase E1 and transketolase domain containing 1) This gene encodes a component of a mitochondrial 2-oxoglutarate-dehydrogenase-complex-like protein involved in the degradation pathways of several amino acids, including lysine. Mutations in this gene are associated with 2-aminoadipic 2-oxoadipic aciduria and Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 2Q. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Variant summary: DHTKD1 c.1897-1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant abolishes a canonical 3' acceptor site and one predicts the variant weakens the same canonical 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 251448 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1897-1G>A has been reported in the literature in a heterozygous individual affected with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (Sherrill_2018). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with 2-Aminoadipic 2-Oxoadipic Aciduria. One publication reports experimental evidence evaluating mitochondrial function using fibroblasts from a heterozygous patient diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (Sherrill_2018), however, this evidence does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29669943). Two ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: both classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 10 of the DHTKD1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in DHTKD1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23141293, 25860818). This variant is present in population databases (rs760386662, gnomAD 0.005%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with eosinophilic esophagitis (PMID: 29669943). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 467824). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that disruption of this splice site affects DHTKD1 function (PMID: 29669943). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
