Description

The IVD gene encodes isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase, a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the third step in leucine catabolism, converting isovaleryl-CoA to 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA. Mutations in IVD cause isovaleric acidemia, an autosomal recessive disorder of organic acid metabolism characterized by accumulation of isovaleric acid and its derivatives.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Isovaleric acidemia Loss-of-function mutations in IVD impair isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity, leading to accumulation of isovaleryl-CoA and its toxic metabolites. ClinVar, OMIM
Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) Secondary involvement; IVD activity may be reduced due to defects in electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) or ETF dehydrogenase, but primary IVD mutations are not causative. OMIM

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.149G>A (p.Arg50Gln) Missense Common in isovaleric acidemia Reduced enzyme activity
c.1208A>G (p.Tyr403Cys) Missense Rare Impaired substrate binding
c.457C>T (p.Arg153Trp) Missense Reported Loss of function

Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Most IVD mutations are loss-of-function, reducing or abolishing isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity, leading to isovaleric acidemia.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No gain-of-function mutations reported for IVD.

Dominant Negative (DN)

No dominant-negative effects described; isovaleric acidemia is autosomal recessive.

Pathways

Valine
leucine and isoleucine degradation (KEGG: hsa00280)
Metabolism of amino acids and derivatives (Reactome: R-HSA-71291)

Protein Summary

Isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IVD) is a homotetrameric mitochondrial flavoprotein that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isovaleryl-CoA to 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA, using FAD as a cofactor. The enzyme is essential for leucine catabolism. Defects in IVD cause isovaleric acidemia, characterized by vomiting, metabolic acidosis, and neurological impairment. The protein is expressed predominantly in liver and kidney.
