Genes affected

ALDH7A1 (HGNC:877): (aldehyde dehydrogenase 7 family member A1) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of subfamily 7 in the aldehyde dehydrogenase gene family. These enzymes are thought to play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. This particular member has homology to a previously described protein from the green garden pea, the 26g pea turgor protein. It is also involved in lysine catabolism that is known to occur in the mitochondrial matrix. Recent reports show that this protein is found both in the cytosol and the mitochondria, and the two forms likely arise from the use of alternative translation initiation sites. An additional variant encoding a different isoform has also been found for this gene. Mutations in this gene are associated with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy. Several related pseudogenes have also been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 5-126577212-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-126577212-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 17996.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr5-126577212-C-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic]. Variant chr5-126577212-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 10, 2024	This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 5 of the ALDH7A1 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 ALDH7A1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16491085, 20554659). This variant is present in population databases (rs779494572, gnomAD 0.002%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PMID: 20554659). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17996). 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. -
