RCV000498118 | SCV000589352 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2017-04-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The M134R missense variant in the PTEN gene has been reported previously in at least one family with features of Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (Figer et al., 2002). This variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The M134R variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. A missense variant at the same residue (M134I) has been reported in association with a PTEN-related disorder, supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein (Busa et al., 2013). Based on currently available evidence, M134R is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant. However, the possibility it is a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. |
