Description
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 94 of the SOD1 protein (p.Gly94Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 8446170, 16476815, 20577002, 25585530). This variant is also known as Gly93->Cys, G93C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14759). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SOD1 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SOD1 function (PMID: 12482932, 19483195). This variant disrupts the p.Gly94 amino acid residue in SOD1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8004110, 9029070, 18273717, 21120636, 24325798, 28089114). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
