RCV001321705 | SCV001512548 | uncertain significance | Lipoic acid synthetase deficiency | 2020-04-17 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces phenylalanine with serine at codon 17 of the LIAS protein (p.Phe17Ser). The phenylalanine residue is weakly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between phenylalanine and serine. This variant is present in population databases (rs751814381, ExAC 0.002%). 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 LIAS-related conditions. 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. |
