The c.1039del (p.Ala347Profs*6) variant in ACADVL is a frameshift variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 10/20 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1; PMIDs 9973285, 11590124). This variant has been detected in one individual identified by abnormal newborn screening or presumed positive on newborn screening for very long chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency with no reported follow-up plasma acylcarnitine or enzyme activity; a second distinct pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in ACADVL was not reported in this individual (PMID: 26385305). To our knowledge, functional assays have not been reported for this variant. This variant is absent from gnomAD 2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC for autosomal recessive very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen ACADVL Variant Curation Expert Panel: PVS1, PM2_Supporting (ClinGen ACADVL VCEP specifications version#1; 07-03-2022).
