Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)
The NM_000018.4(ACADVL): c.1730_1740del (p.Ala577Glyfs*11) variant in ACADVL is a frameshift variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 18 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1; PMIDs 9973285, 11590124). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (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.

Predicted loss-of-function is descriptive, not an applied PVS1 code.
Population frequency
No gnomAD frequency available for this variant. This is missing data, not an absence: the variant may or may not be present in gnomAD. Rarity (ACMG PM2) and BA1/BS1 cannot be assessed for it.
