Description
This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 277 of the MKKS protein (p.Leu277Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs74315398, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (PMID: 10973251). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5314). 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 MKKS protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MKKS function (PMID: 20498079, 22446187). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
