Description
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 175 of the CFH protein (p.Arg175Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs139360826, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with age-related macular degeneration (PMID: 26501415, 27572114). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 636726). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CFH function (PMID: 27572114, 34189567, 36445700). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
