RCV001298795 | SCV001487862 | uncertain significance | PRPH2-related disorder | 2020-06-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Cys166 amino acid residue in PRPH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with PRPH2-related conditions (PMID: 26061163), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PRPH2-related conditions. This sequence change replaces cysteine with tryptophan at codon 166 of the PRPH2 protein (p.Cys166Trp). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and tryptophan. |
