RCV000200848 | SCV000249987 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2015-04-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | TAAD is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by aortic dilatation, aneurysms, dissections and/or aneurysms of other major arteries. It is estimated that this panel would detect a disease-causing mutation in approximately 20% of individuals with familial TAAD (Milewicz D et al., 2012). p.Asn1340Lys (N1340K) AAC>AAA: c.4020 C>A in exon 52 of the COL5A2 gene (NM_000393.3)A variant of unknown significance has been identified in the COL5A2 gene. The N1340K variant has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The N1340K variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. However, this substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved and in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Furthermore, missense mutations in nearby residues have not been reported indicating this region of the protein may be tolerant of change. Data from control individuals was not available to assess whether N1340K may be a common benign variant in the general population. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic mutation or a rare benign variant. This variant was found in TAADV2-PANCARD |
