RCV003804950 | SCV004608455 | uncertain significance | Tietz syndrome; Waardenburg syndrome type 2A; Melanoma, cutaneous malignant, susceptibility to, 8 | 2024-01-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 227 of the MITF protein (p.Leu227Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MITF-related conditions. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MITF protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. |
