RCV003080270 | SCV003481565 | uncertain significance | 3-Methylglutaconic aciduria type 3; Optic atrophy 3 | 2022-09-13 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu74*) in the OPA3 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 106 amino acid(s) of the OPA3 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with OPA3-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant disrupts the C-terminus of the OPA3 protein. Other variant(s) that disrupt this region (p.Gln139*) have been observed in individuals with OPA3-related conditions (PMID: 18985435). This suggests that this may be a clinically significant region of the protein. 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. |
