This variant is a 4 bp deletion starting at position +4 of intron 21 of the PCCA gene and is predicted to affect native splicing by in-silico tools. This variant, named 1824IVS+3del4, has been previously reported as a homozygous change in an individual with propionic acidemia and moderate psychomotor delay (PMID: 10780784, 9385377). The PCC enzyme activity in the patient's fibroblasts was significantly lower than the normal control (PMID: 10780784). The c.1899+4_1899+7del is also reported in the literature as IVS21+3del4 (PMID: 15235904). Splicing studies in patient's fibroblasts demonstrated that this variant leads to skipping of exon 21 and residual low levels of normal splicing (PMID: 9385377, 15235904). It is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.0059% (9/152424) and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.1899+4_1899+7del variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Variant summary: PCCA c.1899+4_1899+7delAGTA alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing. In functional studies, the variant resulted in an in-frame deletion of 18 amino acids as a result of exon skipping (Richard_1997, Clavero_2004). It was also reported that small levels of (3-16%) of correctly spliced transcript were found in a homozygous patient, which was sufficient to permit the development of a mild phenotype (Clavero_2004). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.9e-05 in 152424 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1899+4_1899+7delAGTA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Propionic Acidemia (Richard_1997, Kraus_2012, Stanescu_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Two assessments for this variant have been submitted to ClinVar after 2014. One submitter classified the variant as pathogenic and the other classified it as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
This sequence change falls in intron 21 of the PCCA gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PCCA protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs794727334, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with propionic acidemia (PMID: 9385377, 10101253, 10780784, 22033733). This variant is also known as 1824IVS+3del4 and IVS21+3del4. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 195560). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of 21, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 9385377, 15235904). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
