Genes affected
HMGCL (HGNC:5005): (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the HMG-CoA lyase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the final step of leucine degradation and plays a key role in ketone body formation. Mutations in this gene are associated with HMG-CoA lyase deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

A homozygous nonsense variant was identified, NM_000191.2(HMGCL):c.121C>T in exon 2 of 9 of the HMGCL gene. This nonsense variant is predicted to create a change of an arginine to a stop at amino acid position 41 of the protein; NP_000182.2(HMGCL):p.(Arg41*), resulting in the loss of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). The variant is present in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.0004% (1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes) and has been previously identified in patients with HMG-CoA lyase deficiency (ClinVar, Mitchell G. et al. (1998)). Other variants predicted to cause NMD have been reported as pathogenic in individuals with HMG-CoA lyase deficiency (ClinVar). Based on information available at the time of curation, this variant has been classified as PATHOGENIC. Legend: (P) - Pathogenic, (N) - Neutral, (B) - Benign -

Variant summary: HMGCL c.121C>T (p.Arg41X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251480 control chromosomes. c.121C>T has been reported in the literature without a second allele identified in at-least one individual affected with HMG-CoA Lyase Deficiency (example, Mitchell_1998 cited in Menao_2009). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg41*) in the HMGCL gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in HMGCL are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9817922, 17692550, 23465862). This variant is present in population databases (rs770225915, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with HMG-CoA lyase deficiency (PMID: 9463337). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553933). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
