Description
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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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 not expected to disrupt TWNK protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1303544). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions (PMID: 27822509). This variant is present in population databases (rs765038479, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 114 of the TWNK protein (p.Met114Arg).
