RCV000274390 | SCV000329706 | pathogenic | not provided | 2016-01-07 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The Q437R pathogenic variant in the OPA1 gene has been reported previously in an individual with optic atrophy, hearing loss, nystagmus, ataxia and paraesthesia (Leruez et al., 2013). The Q437R variant 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 Q437R 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. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense variants in nearby residues (I434R, C435Y, D438V, D438G, D438A, G439V) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with optic atrophy (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. We interpret Q437R as a pathogenic variant. |

RCV000274390 | SCV005834438 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2024-09-17 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 437 of the OPA1 protein (p.Gln437Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of OPA1-related conditions (PMID: 23384603). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217843). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. |
