Description
The Q191R variant in the SERPINC1 gene has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The Q191R 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 Q191R 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 is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense variants in nearby residues (Y190S, Y190C, S194R, Y198H, Y198C) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with antithrombin deficiency (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. The Q191R variant is a strong candidate for a disease-causing variant, however, the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded.
