ClinVar

Description

The STK11 p.Arg383His variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the LOVD 3.0 database. The variant was identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs730881990) as "With Uncertain significance allele" and in ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, GeneDx, Ambry Genetics and three other submitters). The variant was identified in 1 of 239140 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the European population in 1 of 107144 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009), but not in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Arg383 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
