Invitae | RCV000814050 | SCV000954442 | uncertain significance | Alstrom syndrome | 2018-11-02 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with ALMS1-related disease. 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. 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. This variant is present in population databases (rs773767346, ExAC 0.002%). This sequence change replaces glutamine with arginine at codon 3670 of the ALMS1 protein (p.Gln3670Arg). The glutamine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamine and arginine. |
