The clinical spectrum of ALD includes adrenal insufficiency, myelopathy, and/or leukodystrophy. A complicating factor in disease management is the absence of a genotype–phenotype correlation in ALD. Since 1999, most ABCD1 (likely) pathogenic and benign variants have been reported in the ABCD1 Variant Database. In 2017, following the expansion of ALD newborn screening, the database was rebuilt. To add an additional level of confidence with respect to pathogenicity, for each variant, it now also reports the number of cases identified and, where available, experimental data supporting the pathogenicity of the variant.

The order of pathogenic variant frequency, overall clustering of disease-causing variants in exons 1–2 (transmembrane domain spanning region) and 6–9 (ATP-binding domain), and the most commonly reported pathogenic variant p.Gln472Argfs*83 in exon 5 are consistent with the initial reports of the mutation database. Novel insights include nonrandom clustering of high-density missense variant hotspots within exons 1, 2, 6, 8, and 9.

Evolution of the Database: Experimental Data and Variant Reclassification</h4><div class='html-p'>The identification of the <span class='html-italic'>ALD</span> gene in 1993 enabled large-scale genetic testing by diagnostic laboratories and research groups. Between 1993 and 1999, over 40 large-scale pathogenic variant screening studies were published. Unfortunately, two different nucleotide numbering systems were used to annotate variants. The first used the first nucleotide of the cDNA as number +1. The second, and correct system, uses the A of the initiator methionine (ATG) codon as +1. Early versions of the ALD Mutation Database included both numbering systems for each variant. From 2003 onward, all variants have been reported according to the correct numbering system only. Due to this discrepancy, it may be difficult to align newly identified pathogenic variants with cases from those early reports in which the wrong numbering system was used as the nucleotide numbers do not match: they are off by 386. Therefore, reported pathogenic variants from early publications may need to be realigned against the second numbering system. For example, the correct annotation of C696T, R104C [<a href="#B19-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">19</a>] is (696 − 386 = 310) c.310C > T, p.Arg104Cys. The <span class='html-italic'>ABCD1</span> Variant Database reports all (likely) pathogenic and benign variants in conformity with the nomenclature recommended by the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS; <a href='https://varnomen.hgvs.org/' target='_blank' rel="noopener noreferrer">https://varnomen.hgvs.org/</a>) [<a href="#B20-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">20</a>]. All variants, including those already published, are annotated using the Alamut Visual software package with transcript NM_000033.3 on GRCh37 (hg19) as the reference sequence.</div><div class='html-p'>In 2017, following the expansion of ALD newborn screening in the U.S., the <span class='html-italic'>ABCD1</span> Variant Database became part of Adrenoleukodystrophy.info. This name better reflects the broader focus on ALD. The website also moved to a new domain name: <a href='https://adrenoleukodystrophy.info/' target='_blank' rel="noopener noreferrer">https://adrenoleukodystrophy.info/</a>.</div><div class='html-p'>The <span class='html-italic'>ABCD1</span> Variant Database was also rebuilt. Instead of merely reporting whether a variant was already reported in literature or shared by diagnostic laboratories, the new version contains additional information: it lists the number of cases reported for each pathogenic variant. An ALD case is defined as an individual with clinical signs and symptoms related to ALD and a biochemical or genetic confirmation. Where available in the literature, experimental data were extracted supporting the pathogenicity of a particular variant (a Western blot, peroxisomal beta-oxidation, etc.). For example, the pathogenic variant p.Ser606Leu has been reported in 37 ALD cases. Other ALD-related research studies using patient cell lines revealed that this pathogenic variant reduced the amount of detectable ALD protein to 25% that of control cells (Database Ref 97) [<a href="#B21-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">21</a>]. Studies using experimental cell lines showed that the pathogenic variant affects ATP-binding capacity (Database Refs 194 and 244) [<a href="#B22-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">22</a>,<a href="#B23-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">23</a>], resulting in deficient VLCFA beta-oxidation (Database Ref 261) [<a href="#B24-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">24</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>Information from publicly available databases, such as the genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, <a href='https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/' target='_blank' rel="noopener noreferrer">https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/</a>), was also included [<a href="#B25-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">25</a>]. In some instances, a variant that was reported to be pathogenic could be correctly reclassified as benign. For example, p.Gly608Asp was reported as the pathogenic variant in an ALD male patient (Database Ref 48) [<a href="#B26-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">26</a>], but data from gnomAD show its frequency to be 124/162246 alleles (X:153008483 G/A), confirming that this is not a pathogenic variant.</div><div class='html-p'>In addition to the <span class='html-italic'>ABCD1</span> Variant Database, the website provides information on a number of ALD-related topics. The website pages are written by ALD researchers and physicians with expertise on that topic. A number of these pages are available in Spanish, French, German, and Dutch. Interestingly, some of the most visited pages are in Spanish, which indicates that there is an unmet need for information written by experts in other languages. This motivates us to continue adding translations; however, this is a relatively slow process as the database is maintained without funding. Hence, we are fully dependent on collaborators with a biology background/medical training willing to translate content. Parallel to the expansion of ALD newborn screening, there has been a steady increase in visitors with an annual average of 30,000 visits before 2014 to over 150,000 since 2019.

A few novel insights are afforded by the updated analysis and are secondary to the ability to map variants onto the gene with higher resolution. The clusters of missense variants in exons 6 and 9 are not equally distributed; rather, they form high-density hotspots in both exons. Given that VUS, synonymous, and benign variants appear to be equally distributed across all exons (<a href="#cells-11-00283-f001" class="html-fig">Figure 1</a>a), these observations imply that: (1) these segments of the protein are intolerant to variation, and (2) a VUS that occurs in either of the hotspots on exon 6 or 9 may have a higher likelihood of being pathogenic. The same logic applies to VUSs that appear in exon-1-segment amino acids 100–300, chromosome interval 152994751–152994822 (amino acids 315–346) on exon 2, and exon 8 (amino acids 594–622). At the functional level, the high-density hotspots on exons 6 and 9 identified independently via the bioinformatics analysis of missense variants map to two specific motifs within the ATP-binding domain: Walker A and B and the ABC signature (<a href="#cells-11-00283-f002" class="html-fig">Figure 2</a>d–f) [<a href="#B4-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">4</a>]. Early experimental data revealed that the helical domain between the Walker A and B motifs undergoes conformational change when bound to ADP, indicating their role in the transduction of free energy during ATP-hydrolysis in the ALD protein [<a href="#B34-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">34</a>,<a href="#B35-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">35</a>].

Asymptomatic Diagnosis Requires a Platform to Resolve Variants of Uncertain Significance</h4><div class='html-p'>Newborn screening gives rise to the clinical situation where patients, without a clear family history of disease, are identified asymptomatically at birth with a novel variant or VUS. This is clearly different from the more classical situation prior to newborn screening where index patients presented with signs and symptoms of disease, and a diagnosis was made based on confirmatory biochemistry and genetics. A family history would then be taken to identify other family members at risk of ALD, or to diagnose other symptomatic family members. In newborn screening, or population screening, patients are also identified that have C26:0-lysoPC levels above the upper level of the reference range, but below the lower level of the disease range. The identification of a novel variant or VUS creates a dilemma: is the VUS a benign change or a pathogenic variant? The diagnosis of index cases identified by newborn screening requires the demonstration of elevated VLCFAs and an accurate interpretation of the genetic variant in <span class='html-italic'>ABCD1</span>. In the case of a VUS, biochemical and functional analyses of patient fibroblasts can aid the interpretation of the variant as either a (likely) benign or pathogenic change [<a href="#B59-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">59</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>Taken together, the <span class='html-italic'>ABCD1</span> Variant Database, open collaboration, and the results of this study serve as a platform to aid in the resolution of VUSs identified during newborn screening. This is in addition to other publicly available variant archives (e.g., ClinVar: <a href='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/' target='_blank' rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/</a>; Human Genome Variation Society: <a href='http://www.hgvs.org/locus-specific-mutation-databases' target='_blank' rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.hgvs.org/locus-specific-mutation-databases</a>). Medical professionals can report the biochemical evidence or functional studies supportive of a VUS’s pathogenicity, map the variant onto the gene to visualize whether it exists within a pathogenic variant cluster or hotspot, and assess the conservation of the potentially affected amino acid (<a href="#cells-11-00283-f003" class="html-fig">Figure 3</a>). For example, the VUS c.970C > T (p.Arg324Cys) within the exon 2 missense cluster was resolved in this way. The patient developed elevated VLCFAs and an elevated ACTH, was diagnosed with partial adrenal insufficiency before 2 years old, and is now proactively treated with stress dose steroids. Moving forward, the database provides a wealth of input to understand the effect of missense variants on protein structure and folding, as emerging presently with neural-network-based protein modeling such as AlphaFold [<a href="#B60-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">60</a>].</div></section><section id='sec4dot3-cells-11-00283' type=''><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 4.3. The Clinical and Collaborative Importance of the ABCD1 Variant Database</h4><div class='html-p'>The facilitation of a correct interpretation of a variant’s pathogenicity in <span class='html-italic'>ABCD1</span> is highly important. The accurate genetic diagnosis of ALD obligates the patient to rigorous monitoring protocols for adrenal insufficiency [<a href="#B57-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">57</a>] and cerebral ALD by MRI [<a href="#B58-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">58</a>], requiring multiple medical subspecialty evaluations early in life. If an early-stage cerebral lesion is identified in a boy with neurologically asymptomatic ALD [<a href="#B61-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">61</a>], he will be referred for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or gene therapy, if applicable. The former is associated with its own degree of morbidity and mortality [<a href="#B62-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">62</a>], and both require the patient undergo chemotherapy [<a href="#B48-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">48</a>]. Lastly, the identification of a familial gene mutation may lead to a life-altering diagnosis of ALD in extended family members.</div><div class='html-p'>Despite ALD being an X-linked disorder, a genetic diagnosis is especially important for women. It is becoming increasingly recognized that the majority of women are not merely carriers, but may develop some degree of myeloneuropathy leading to gait, bowel, and bladder dysfunction [<a href="#B14-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">14</a>,<a href="#B15-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">15</a>,<a href="#B63-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">63</a>]. In terms of family planning, identification of index boys in new families with newborn screening has uncovered the expected maternal inheritance pattern of the pathogenic variant. This has caused young families to pursue prenatal genetic diagnosis and in vitro fertilization of unaffected embryos. This process, while necessary to prevent further propagation of the disease to future generations, imposes significant medical, emotional, and financial distress on new families trying to have more children [<a href="#B64-cells-11-00283" class="html-bibr">64</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>From a collaborative standpoint, the downstream effects have been multiple. Updating relevant clinical data to novel VUSs and pre-existing reported missense pathogenic variants has allowed physicians across the world to network quickly. This was the case for two newborn screening patients born in two different states who were identified with the same reported VUS c.970C > T (p.Arg324Cys) above. Rapid reporting of pathogenicity and sharing of information via the ABCD1 variant database have enhanced the care for the patients, their families, and their treating physicians. Lastly, the database has allowed families to take an active part in their child’s care by being a resource for researching their child’s variant and learning about ALD through well-curated information.</div></section></section><section id='sec5-cells-11-00283' type='conclusions'><h2 data-nested='1'> 5. Conclusions</h2><div class='html-p'>A unique resource such as the <span class='html-italic'>ABCD1</span> Variant Database can only be maintained through open collaboration and the sharing of (de-identified) information. If well-maintained, it helps the ALD community at large. From a scientific perspective, the database provides a backbone for realignment of older reported variants, a resource for the integration of experimental data and large datasets, a platform for variant classification, and a way to shed light on functionally important segments of the protein. Clinically, it helps to address challenges posed by novel variants in the setting of newborn screening. For the ALD community, the database provides an opportunity to collaborate, translate, and transmit well-curated disease information to both non-expert physicians and families affected by ALD.</div></section> </div> <div class="html-back"> <section><section id='app1-cells-11-00283' type=''><h2 data-nested='1'> Supplementary Materials</h2><div class='html-p'>The following supporting information can be downloaded at: <a href='https://www.mdpi.com/article/10.3390/cells11020283/s1' target='_blank' rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.mdpi.com/article/10.3390/cells11020283/s1</a>.
