RCV000479202 | SCV000568026 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2016-09-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is denoted BMPR1A c.1405G>A at the cDNA level, p.Asp469Asn (D469N) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to an Asparagine (GAT>AAT). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BMPR1A Asp469Asn was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Aspartic Acid and Asparagine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. BMPR1A Asp469Asn occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in the protein kinase domain (Howe 2004). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BMPR1A Asp469Asn is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. |
