Description
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 179 of the PARK7 protein (p.Ala179Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs71653622, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Parkinson disease (PMID: 18973254). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 854701). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect PARK7 function (PMID: 23241025, 28993701). 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.
