RCV000816768 | SCV000957293 | uncertain significance | Polyglandular autoimmune syndrome, type 1 | 2022-08-29 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 328 of the AIRE protein (p.Arg328Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs775921321, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with acrofacial vitiligo (PMID: 26084028). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 659723). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The glutamine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects AIRE function (PMID: 26084028). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. |
