Description
The p.Asp331Asn variant in PLA2G6 has not been previously reported in the literature in individuals with PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration but has been identified in 0.009% (7/81550) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs199935023). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 522939) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by Genomic Research Center (Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences) and as a variant of uncertain significance by Invitae, CeGaT Center for Human Genetics Tuebingen, and Illumina Laboratory Services (Illumina). Computational prediction tools, including splice predictors, and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. One additional pathogenic variant, resulting in a different amino acid change at the same position, p.Asp331Tyr, has been reported in association with disease in the literature and ClinVar, supporting that a change at this position may not be tolerated (PMID: 29454663, 31196701, 22213678/Variation ID: 30371). In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Asp331Asn variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BP4, PM2_supporting, PM5 (Richards 2015).
