Description
The G6PD c.844G>C; p.Asp282His variant (rs137852318), also known as G6PD Seattle/Ferrara II/Modena/Athens-like, has been reported in multiple individuals in the Mediterranean region with G6PD deficiency (Cappellini 1994, Cappellini 1995, De Vita 1989, Frigerio 1994, Lenzerini 1969, Rattazzi 1969). Functional characterization indicates enzymatic activity ranging from 15 to 25 percent of wildtype (Cappellini 1994, Cappellini 1995, De Vita 1989, Frigerio 1994, Lenzerini 1969, Rattazzi 1969), consistent with a class III variant (WHO working group 1989). The variant is listed as pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 10372), and observed in the general population databases at a frequency of 0.07% (143/200329 alleles, including 52 hemizygotes) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The aspartate at codon 282 is moderately conserved, and computational algorithms (Mutation Taster, PolyPhen-2, SIFT) predict that the variant has an impact on the protein. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. REFERENCES Cappellini M et al.
