Invitae | RCV001230763 | SCV001403255 | uncertain significance | Bardet-Biedl syndrome | 2021-08-24 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces histidine with glutamine at codon 551 of the BBS12 protein (p.His551Gln). The histidine residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between histidine and glutamine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BBS12-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The glutamine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. |
