RCV000189523 | SCV000243166 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2014-04-15 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | p.His2090Gln (CAC>CAA): c.6270 C>A in exon 48 of the SPTAN1 gene (NM_001130438.2) The H2090Q variant has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 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 H2090Q variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. However, in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the H2090Q variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Additionally, previously reported pathogenic mutations in SPTAN1 include in-frame deletions or duplications located within the last four spectrin repeats of the protein, which are essential for dimerization (Saitsu et al., 2010), and the H2090 residue is outside this region. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in EPILEPSY panel(s). |
