ClinVar

Description

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 15 of the SLC22A5 protein (p.Gly15Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs751129547, gnomAD 0.007%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SLC22A5-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1065994). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SLC22A5 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Gly15 amino acid residue in SLC22A5. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20027113, 20574985, 21922592). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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.
