| Ambry Genetics | RCV000572160 | SCV000669656 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2016-06-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.G588E variant (also known as c.1763G>A), located in coding exon 14 of the MRE11A gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1763. The glycine at codon 588 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6499 samples (12998 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.001% (greater than 175000alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |
| Invitae | RCV001055653 | SCV001220053 | uncertain significance | Ataxia-telangiectasia-like disorder | 2019-01-29 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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. 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. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MRE11-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 483622). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine with glutamic acid at codon 588 of the MRE11 protein (p.Gly588Glu). The glycine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and glutamic acid. |
