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]

Variant 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. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as the variant abolished P5CDh activity in yeast cells (Geraghty et al., 1998); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 43 amino acids are replaced with 9 different amino acids in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 9700195) -
