Invitae | RCV001224136 | SCV001396319 | uncertain significance | Werner syndrome | 2021-10-05 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 1382 of the WRN protein (p.Cys1382Tyr). The cysteine residue is weakly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and tyrosine. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WRN-related conditions. 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 tyrosine 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. |
