RCV002009877 | SCV002265518 | uncertain significance | Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2K; Muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy (congenital with intellectual disability), type B1; Walker-Warburg congenital muscular dystrophy | 2021-10-12 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 526 of the POMT1 protein (p.Arg526Trp). The arginine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and tryptophan. This variant is present in population databases (rs151183697, ExAC 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POMT1-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 tryptophan 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. |
