RCV001943335 | SCV002182266 | uncertain significance | Klippel-Feil syndrome 1, autosomal dominant; Isolated microphthalmia 4; Microphthalmia, isolated, with coloboma 6; Leber congenital amaurosis 17 | 2021-08-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the ExAC database. This sequence change replaces alanine with threonine at codon 207 of the GDF6 protein (p.Ala207Thr). The alanine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and threonine. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GDF6-related conditions. 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 threonine 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. |
