GeneDx RCV000197492 SCV000252028 likely pathogenic not provided 2014-09-08 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing p.Ala236Glu (GCG>GAG): c.707 C>A in exon 7 of the PDHA1 gene (NM_000284.3) A A236E variant that is likely pathogenic was identified in the PDHA1 gene. It has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The A236E variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The A236E variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense mutations in nearby residues (Y227C, T231A, T231K, R235G, Y243N, Y243C, Y243S, R245G) have been reported in association with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency, supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Therefore, this variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic mutation, however the possibility that it is a benign variant cannot be excluded. The variant is found in LAPDH-MITOP panel(s).
