RCV000235650 | SCV000294037 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2016-03-10 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The R485K variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant 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. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. However, the R485K variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. Additionally, missense variants in nearby residues have not been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with DYNC1H1-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014). In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is 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. |
Invitae | RCV000649576 | SCV000771405 | uncertain significance | Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, type 2O | 2017-12-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces arginine with lysine at codon 485 of the DYNC1H1 protein (p.Arg485Lys). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and lysine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with DYNC1H1-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246470). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. |
