RCV000472604 | SCV000541437 | uncertain significance | Werner syndrome | 2016-07-13 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces valine with glutamic acid at codon 641 of the WRN protein (p.Val641Glu). The valine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between valine and glutamic acid. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a WRN-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "C25"). In summary, this variant is a novel missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
