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:8

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 lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 148 of the ACADM protein (p.Arg148Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs778906552, gnomAD 0.1%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (PMID: 20036593, 20434380, 22848008). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 198025). 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) 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. -

The ACADM c.443G>A; p.Arg148Lys variant (rs778906552) has been described in the compound heterozygous state and homozygously in individuals affected with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency (Anderson 2012, Arnold 2010, Smith 2010). It is reported as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 198025) and observed in the Latino population at an overall frequency of 0.1% (35/35428 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. In vitro fatty acid beta-oxidation analysis on fibroblasts from an individual homozygous for this variant was consistent with intermediate MCAD deficiency (Smith 2010). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. REFERENCES Anderson S et al.

Variant summary: ACADM c.443G>A (p.Arg148Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase/oxidase, N-terminal domain 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 0.00014 in 251320 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in ACADM causing Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (0.00014 vs 0.0054), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.443G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (Anderson_2012, Smith_2010). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. In vitro fatty acid beta-oxidation flux analysis of fibroblasts from one subject homozygous for the c.443G>A mutation demonstrated a phenotype consistent with intermediate MCAD deficiency (Smith_2010). Six ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant four times as pathogenic and twice as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene. Computational tools predict that this variant is damaging. In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. Assessment of experimental evidence regarding the effect of this variant on protein function is inconclusive. -
