RCV000154666 | SCV000204343 | likely pathogenic | 3-Methylglutaconic aciduria type 2; Primary dilated cardiomyopathy | 2012-01-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The Gly216Val variant (TAZ) has not been reported in the literature nor previous ly identified by our laboratory. Glycine (Gly) at position 216 is highly conserv ed across evolutionarily distant species, increasing the likelihood that a chang e would not be tolerated. This is consistent with another pathogenic variant at this codon (Gly216Arg) that has been identified in individuals with Barth syndro me (D'Adamo 1997, Kuijpers 2004, Takeda 2011). In addition, computational tools (Polyphen2, SIFT) predict that a change to Glycine (Gly) would impact the protei n, though their accuracy is unknown. In summary, the available evidence for this variant supports a pathogenic role although additional data is needed to establ ish this with certainty. |
