RCV001878518 | SCV002127264 | uncertain significance | Brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome | 2021-05-31 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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. This sequence change replaces proline with alanine at codon 1179 of the LTBP3 protein (p.Pro1179Ala). The proline residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between proline and alanine. 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with LTBP3-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. |
