Ambry Genetics | RCV001011986 | SCV001172383 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2022-01-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.E51D variant (also known as c.153A>C), located in coding exon 2 of the RB1 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 153. The glutamic acid at codon 51 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |
Invitae | RCV002549355 | SCV002987945 | uncertain significance | Retinoblastoma | 2024-02-01 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 51 of the RB1 protein (p.Glu51Asp). This variant is present in population databases (rs756860689, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RB1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 819435). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The aspartic acid amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. |
