Invitae | RCV000810247 | SCV000950440 | uncertain significance | Spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 8; Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy 4, autosomal dominant | 2018-11-26 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 723 of the SYNE1 protein (p.Cys723Tyr). The cysteine residue is moderately conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and tyrosine. This variant is present in population databases (rs369355230, ExAC 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with SYNE1-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 586722). 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 tyrosine 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 and their clinical significance is uncertain. 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. |
