RCV000413942 | SCV000490883 | uncertain significance | not specified | 2016-12-08 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the WWOX gene. The V240F variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The V240F variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The V240F variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. However, in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. |
