Description
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 269 of the EIF2B5 protein (p.Arg269Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs113994057, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with vanishing white matter disease (PMID: 16864840, 19158808, 27779215, 29933199). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 942204). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Arg269 amino acid residue in EIF2B5. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with EIF2B5-related conditions (PMID: 15136673, 15776425), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
