Genes affected

BCKDHA (HGNC:986): (branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1 subunit alpha) The branched-chain alpha-keto acid (BCAA) dehydrogenase (BCKD) complex is an innter mitochondrial enzyme complex that catalyzes the second major step in the catabolism of the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. The BCKD complex consists of three catalytic components: a heterotetrameric (alpha2-beta2) branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase (E1), a dihydrolipoyl transacylase (E2), and a dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3). This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the decarboxylase (E1) component. Mutations in this gene result in maple syrup urine disease, type IA. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu171Trpfs*159) in the BCKDHA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BCKDHA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16786533, 22593002). This variant is present in population databases (rs762084007, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with maple syrup urine disease (PMID: 31980395). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 517592). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Leu171TrpfsX159 (NM_000709.3 c.511delC) variant in BCKDHA has not been pre viously reported in individuals with maple syrup urine disease. It has been iden tified in 3/30782 South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (ht tp://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; rs762084007). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at posit ion 171 and leads to a premature termination codon 159 amino acids downstream. T his alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Biall elic loss of function of the BCKDHA gene is associated with maple syrup urine di sease. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish a null impact, the p.Leu171TrpfsX159 variant is likely pathogenic for maple syrup urine disease in an autosomal recessive manner based on its predicted impact on the protein. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1; PM2 (Richards 2015). -
