RCV000156047 | SCV000205760 | likely pathogenic | Costello syndrome | 2014-08-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The Ala59Leu variant in HRAS has now been identified in one individual with clin ical features of a Noonan spectrum disorder and was not identified in the parent s of this individual. This variant has not been previously reported in the liter ature or identified in large population studies. However, an alanine to threonin e change at the same codon in the HRAS gene has been found to segregate in three individuals within one family, all of whom reportedly have clinical features of the Noonan spectrum (LMM unpublished data). In addition, the alanine amino acid is highly conserved across evolutionarily-distinct species, and computational a nalyses (biochemical amino acid properties, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) sugg est that this variant may impact the normal function of the protein. In summary, this variant is likely pathogenic, though additional studies are required to fu lly establish its clinical significance. |
