Genes affected
ALDH4A1 (HGNC:406): (aldehyde dehydrogenase 4 family member A1) This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. This enzyme is a mitochondrial matrix NAD-dependent dehydrogenase which catalyzes the second step of the proline degradation pathway, converting pyrroline-5-carboxylate to glutamate. Deficiency of this enzyme is associated with type II hyperprolinemia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accumulation of delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) and proline. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 22, 2024Variant summary: ALDH4A1 c.1560dupT (p.Gly521TrpfsX10) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 250726 control chromosomes. c.1560dupT has been reported in the literature in the homozygous state in multiple members of a family affected with hyperprolinemia type II (Geraghty_1998). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Geraghty_1998). The variant was determined to result in an absence of growth on proline and absent enzymatic activity compared to wild-type in a yeast expression assay. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 9700195). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4002). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
