Genes affected

SERAC1 (HGNC:21061): (serine active site containing 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a phosphatidylglycerol remodeling protein found at the interface of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula, where it mediates phospholipid exchange. The encoded protein plays a major role in mitochondrial function and intracellular cholesterol trafficking. Defects in this gene are a cause of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria with deafness, encephalopathy, and Leigh-like syndrome (MEGDEL). Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and the other non-protein coding, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 6-158150452-C-CCATG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-158150452-C-CCATG is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 208610.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

3-methylglutaconic aciduria with deafness, encephalopathy, and Leigh-like syndrome Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Sep 28, 2014	The p.Gly89AlafsX32 variant in SERAC1 has not been previously reported in individuals with disease or in large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which would alter the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 89 and lead to a premature termination codon 32 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the SERAC1 gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria with deafness, encephalopathy, and Leigh-like syndrome. In summary, this variant is likely pathogenic for 3-methylglutaconic aciduria with deafness, encephalopathy, and Leigh-like syndrome in an autosomal recessive manner, though additional data is required to prove the predicted impact on the gene. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Apr 24, 2023	This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria (PMID: 33613893). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly89Alafs*32) in the SERAC1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SERAC1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22683713). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 208610). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. -
