RCV000638884 | SCV000760438 | uncertain significance | Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome | 2017-08-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with glycine at codon 704 of the SKI protein (p.Glu704Gly). The glutamic acid residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and glycine. While this variant is not present in population databases, the frequency information is unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with SKI-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The glycine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. |
