Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000688830 SCV000816454 uncertain significance Idiopathic generalized epilepsy 2018-02-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with RBFOX3-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces lysine with asparagine at codon 138 of the RBFOX3 protein (p.Lys138Asn). The lysine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between lysine and asparagine. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 7 of the RBFOX3 coding sequence, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. 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. 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. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies.
