Invitae | RCV000549815 | SCV000650563 | uncertain significance | Aortic aneurysm, familial thoracic 7 | 2017-03-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces serine with alanine at codon 1793 of the MYLK protein (p.Ser1793Ala). The serine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between serine and alanine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a MYLK-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The alanine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. In summary, this variant is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function. There is no indication that it causes disease, but the available evidence is currently insufficient to prove that conclusively. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
