ClinVar

Description

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 334 of the NAGLU protein (p.Val334Phe). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis type III (PMID: 10094189). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553204). 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 NAGLU protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Val334 amino acid residue in NAGLU. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with NAGLU-related conditions (PMID: 10094189, 33747789), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
