Description
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 DBT protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552494). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with maple syrup urine disease (PMID: 16786533). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 263 of the DBT protein (p.Met263Thr). This variant disrupts the p.Met263 amino acid residue in DBT. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19480318). 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.
