ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGen RCV000031857 SCV002769746 likely pathogenic Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency 2022-12-14 reviewed by expert panel curation The c.1679-6G>A variant in ACADVL is an intronic variant which creates a novel acceptor site in intron 17, experimentally shown to cause insertion of four nucleotides and causes a frameshift (PS3_Supporting; PMID: 9709714). This variant has been reported in several individuals affected with very long chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency confirmed in trans to at least one pathogenic variant, presumed in trans to distinct ACADVL variants, and in the homozygous state in at least two individuals (PM3_Strong; PMIDs:23480858, 9709714, 8845838). Fibroblasts derived from one of these individuals showed no detectable VLCAD activity, which is highly specific for VLCAD deficiency (PP4_Moderate; PMID: 234808). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.0002264 in the Latino/Admixed American population, which is lower than the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel threshold (<0.001) for PM2_Supporting, meeting this criterion (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive VLCAD deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel: PS3_Supporting, PM3_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PP4_Moderate (ACADVL VCEP specifications version 1; approved November 8, 2021).

Invitae RCV000031857 SCV000654941 pathogenic Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency 2024-01-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change falls in intron 17 of the ACADVL gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ACADVL protein. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (PMID: 9709714, 9973285, 23480858). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21019). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000031857 SCV001337879 pathogenic Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency 2020-01-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: ACADVL c.1679-6G>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant creates a cryptic 3' acceptor site. One predicts the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site and another that it weakens a 3' acceptor site. Experimental evidence also suggests that this variant affects normal mRNA splicing (Cox_1998, Andresen_1999). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.2e-05 in 92036 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1679-6G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Very Long Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (Cox_1998, Andresen_1999, Schiff_2013). VLCAD enzymatic activity was not detected from patient's fibroblasts samples who harbored this variant and another pathogenic variant (Schiff_2013).These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Four ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

[GRCH38: NC_000017.11:g.7224636G>A] variant in ACADVL gene is interpretated to be Pathogenic based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant has been reported in PMID: 9709714. This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG guidelines: PVS1, PS3
ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000031857 SCV001472009 pathogenic Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency 2020-04-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The ACADVL c.1679-6G>A variant (rs113994171) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with VLCAD deficiency, both in homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals (Andresen 1996, Andresen 1999, Cox 1998, Schiff 2013). This variant is found on only two chromosomes in the Genome Aggregation Database (2/92036 alleles), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This is an intronic variant in a weakly conserved nucleotide, but computational analyses (Alamut v.2.11) predict that this variant may impact splicing by creating a novel cryptic acceptor splice site. Consistent with these predictions, analyses of mRNAs from individuals with this variant indicate decreased mRNA levels and insertion of four nucleotides due to usage of the cryptic splice acceptor (Andresen 1996, Cox 1998). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Andresen BS et al.
