Description
This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 642 of the ATP7B protein (p.Asp642His). This variant is present in population databases (rs72552285, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Wilson syndrome and a copper metabolism disorder and Wilson disease (PMID: 18483695, 21610751, 21682854, 22308153, 24706876, 29540233; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with the variant being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189109). 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 ATP7B protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect ATP7B function (PMID: 18203200). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
