RCV000236792 | SCV000292851 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2015-04-30 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The R818C variant has not been published as pathogenic, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The R818C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. Additionally, this substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. However, missense variants in nearby residues have not been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with TRPV4-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic or a rare benign variant. |
Invitae | RCV000645556 | SCV000767306 | uncertain significance | Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2C | 2018-08-15 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 818 of the TRPV4 protein (p.Arg818Cys). The arginine residue is moderately conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. This variant is present in population databases (rs776544875, ExAC 0.001%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TRPV4-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 245760). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. |
