RCV000468341 | SCV000541316 | uncertain significance | Cowden syndrome | 2016-10-09 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 693 of the PIK3CA protein (p.Arg693Cys). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a PIK3CA-related disease. 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 disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. In summary, this variant is a novel missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
