gene: ACADVL was added to Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS. Sources: Expert list
Mode of inheritance for gene: ACADVL was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: ACADVL were set to PMID: 20301763; 32885845; 31372341
Phenotypes for gene: ACADVL were set to VLCAD deficiency MIM#201475
Review for gene: ACADVL was set to GREEN
Added comment: Well established gene-disease association.

VLCAD deficiency can be classified clinically into 3 forms: a severe early-onset form with high incidence of cardiomyopathy and high mortality; an intermediate form with childhood onset, usually with hypoketotic hypoglycemia and more favorable outcome; and an adult-onset, myopathic form with isolated skeletal muscle involvement, rhabdomyolysis, and myoglobinuria after exercise or fasting.

- Severe disease is associated with no residual enzyme activity, often resulting from null variants. Approximately 81% of pathogenic truncating variants in ACADVL are associated with the severe early-onset form [Andresen et al 1999].
- A specific homozygous missense pathogenic variant (c.709T>C;p.Cys237Arg) leading to low long-chain fatty acid oxidation flux may also be associated with cardiac disease [Diekman et al 2015].
- Milder childhood and adult forms are often associated with residual enzyme activity. The common p.Val283Ala variant, in both homozygous and compound heterozygous genotypes, is typically associated with the non-cardiac phenotypes [Spiekerkoetter et al 2009, Diekman et al 2015, Miller et al 2015].

Treatment: avoid fasting, carnitine, restrict LCFA, bezafibrate, triheptanoin

Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS v0.1 ACADM Lilian Downie gene: ACADM was added
gene: ACADM was added to Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS. Sources: Expert list
Mode of inheritance for gene: ACADM was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Phenotypes for gene: ACADM were set to Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, medium chain, deficiency of MIM# 201450
Review for gene: ACADM was set to GREEN
Added comment: Well established gene-disease association.

Inherited deficiency of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is characterized by intolerance to prolonged fasting, recurrent episodes of hypoglycemic coma with medium-chain dicarboxylic aciduria, impaired ketogenesis, and low plasma and tissue carnitine levels. Can be severe, potentially fatal.

Typical presentation is between 3 and 24 months.

More than 98% of cases of MCAD deficiency have a pathogenic variant in ACADM, with the c.985A>G variant accounting for between 56-91% of cases.

Treatment: management plan to avoid fasting.

ClinGen: Strong Actionability in paediatric patients.

Non-genetic confirmatory tests: Urine acylglycine analysis
