Is ACAD8 p.Met1Val (c.1A>G) pathogenic?

ACAD8 p.Met1Val (c.1A>G) is classified Likely pathogenic in ACAD8 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-06-18). Very rare (popmax 0.00538%, afr); Associated with isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

What condition is associated with ACAD8 p.Met1Val (c.1A>G)?

ACAD8 p.Met1Val (c.1A>G) is associated with isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is ACAD8 p.Met1Val (c.1A>G) in the general population?

ACAD8 p.Met1Val (c.1A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00538%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
