Description
This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 95 of the APOA1 protein (p.Phe95Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs138407155, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with amyloidosis or low HDL-cholesterol (PMID: 21820994, 24081495). This variant is also known as Phe71Tyr. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 302506). 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 APOA1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on APOA1 function (PMID: 30184436). 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.
