RCV000498124 | SCV000589830 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2016-04-13 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The L273F variant in the ACE gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The L273F variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The L273F variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret L273F as a likely pathogenic variant |
