Invitae | RCV000226373 | SCV000291080 | uncertain significance | Fanconi anemia | 2016-02-11 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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. In addition, the aspartic acid amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, this is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function or cause disease. However, the evidence is insufficient at this time to prove that conclusively. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a SLX4-related disease. This sequence change replaces asparagine with aspartic acid at codon 1225 of the SLX4 protein (p.Asn1225Asp). The asparagine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between asparagine and aspartic acid. |
