Description
This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 4 of the LMNA protein (p.Pro4Leu). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LMNA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1393122). 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 LMNA protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Pro4 amino acid residue in LMNA. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19875478, 24861648, 31378009). 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.
