Genes affected

DBT (HGNC:2698): (dihydrolipoamide branched chain transacylase E2) The branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex (BCKD) is an inner-mitochondrial enzyme complex involved in the breakdown of the branched-chain amino acids isoleucine, leucine, and valine. The BCKD complex is thought to be composed of a core of 24 transacylase (E2) subunits, and associated decarboxylase (E1), dehydrogenase (E3), and regulatory subunits. This gene encodes the transacylase (E2) subunit. Mutations in this gene result in maple syrup urine disease, type 2. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Dec 27, 2021	Variant summary: DBT c.1018-550A>G is located at a deep intronic position, not widely known to affect splicing. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: three predict the variant creates a 5' donor site. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.3e-05 in 150962 control chromosomes (gnomAD v3.1 genomes dataset). c.1018-550A>G has been reported in the literature in a homozygous individual affected with Maple Syrup Urine Disease (Tsuruta_1998). The authors of this study reported experimental evidence and demonstrated that the level of the DBT protein was considerably decreased in patient derived LCLS, in addition, they found inclusion of intronic sequence in patient derived cDNA, which was predicted to result in a truncated protein. These findings were confirmed in an in vitro assay system, where generation of a pseudoexon was demonstrated, resulting in aberrant splicing in vitro (Tsuruta_1998). These data indicate that the variant is likely associated with disease. Two ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014,, and classified the variant as likely pathogenic or uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 18, 2024	This sequence change falls in intron 8 of the DBT gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the DBT protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with maple syrup urine disease (PMID: 9621512). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11946). Studies have shown that this variant results in an insertion between exons 8 and 9 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 9621512). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The DBT c.1018-550A>G variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant was reported in the homozygous or compound heterozygous states in individuals with maple syrup urine disease (Tsuruta et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9621512; Soriano-Sexto et al. PubMed ID: 36361642). In vitro analysis indicated that this substitution created a new 5' splice site and caused an insertion of 126 nucleotides between exons 8 and 9, resulting in a truncated protein (Tsuruta et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9621512; Vorechovsky et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 19823873). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
