RCV001955640 | SCV002226730 | uncertain significance | Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 7 | 2021-09-24 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces asparagine with aspartic acid at codon 263 of the MFSD8 protein (p.Asn263Asp). The asparagine residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between asparagine and aspartic acid. This variant is present in population databases (rs374234685, ExAC 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MFSD8-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 tolerated, 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. |
