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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 411 of the ALDH7A1 protein (p.Pro411Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs780233639, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PMID: 22371912). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429577). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt ALDH7A1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

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

A homozygous missense variation in exon 14 of the ALDH7A1 gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Leucine for Proline at codon 411 was detected. The observed variant c.1232C>T (p.Pro411Leu) has not been reported in the 1000 genomes and has a MAF of 0.001% in the gnomAD databases. The in silico prediction of the variant are probably damaging by PolyPhen-2 (HumDiv) and damaging by SIFT, LRT and MutationTaster2. The reference codon is conserved across species. Segregation analysis showed biparental inheritance. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic. -

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

Variant summary: ALDH7A1 c.1232C>T (p.Pro411Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Aldehyde dehydrogenase domain (IPR015590) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251210 control chromosomes. c.1232C>T has been reported at either a compound heterozygous or homozygous state in at-least three individuals affected with Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy (examples: Nam_2012, Ayca_2019, Ambegaonkar_2017). In at-least one occurrence, this variant has been reported in trans along with an apparently pathogenic variant (Ambegaonkar_2017). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22371912, Ayca_2019 and Ambegaonkar - no available PMID). Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 (Likely pathogenic: n=4; VUS: n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.P411L variant (also known as c.1232C>T), located in coding exon 14 of the ALDH7A1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1232. The proline at codon 411 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was detected in a Korean individual with clinically diagnosed pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) who also carried p.Y354C in the ALDH7A1 gene; however, phase of these two alterations was not confirmed (Nam SH et al. Ann. Clin. Lab. Sci., 2012;42:65-72). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
