Ambry Genetics | RCV001017590 | SCV001178689 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2021-07-20 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.F278L variant (also known as c.834C>A), located in coding exon 8 of the PTEN gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 834. The phenylalanine at codon 278 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek M et al. Nature. 2016 Aug 18;536(7616):285-91; DECIPHER: Database of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources. Firth H.V. et al. 2009. Am.J.Hum.Genet. 84, 524-533 (DOI: dx.doi.org/10/1016/j.ajhg.2009.03.010)). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |
Invitae | RCV001860871 | SCV002281859 | uncertain significance | PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome | 2021-09-18 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces phenylalanine with leucine at codon 278 of the PTEN protein (p.Phe278Leu). The phenylalanine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between phenylalanine and leucine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PTEN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 822319). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
