RCV000523616 | SCV000621809 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2017-10-24 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the HECW2 gene. The T1453I variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The T1453I variant is observed in 1/111632 (0.001%) alleles from individuals of Eurropean background, in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The T1453I variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. Additionally, this substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. |
