RCV001000644 | SCV001157667 | uncertain significance | Autosomal recessive axonal neuropathy with neuromyotonia | 2018-08-13 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The HINT1 p.Arg95Gln variant (rs373197800), to our knowledge, has not been reported in the medical literature or gene specific databases. This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.0004% (1/275,000 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 95 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT: tolerated, PolyPhen-2: probably damaging) predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function. However, a nearby variant, p.Gly93Asp, has been observed in trans with a pathogenic variant, p.Gln62Ter, in two siblings with neuromytonia (Hahn 1991 and Zimon 2012), suggesting this region of HINT1 is critical for protein function. However, based on the available information, the clinical significance of the p.Arg95Gln variant is uncertain. Zimon M et al.
