Description
This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 242 of the HMBS protein (p.Glu242Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs761810461, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HMBS-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1421852). 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 HMBS protein function. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on HMBS function (PMID: 27539938). 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.
