RCV000443928 | SCV000535893 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2017-01-03 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The D138N variant in the MAPT gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The D138N variant 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. The D138N variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Aspartic acid are tolerated across species. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret D138N as a variant of uncertain significance. |
