ClinVar

Description

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 VCP protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217028). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with myopathy (PMID: 25326637). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 155 of the VCP protein (p.Arg155Gly). This variant disrupts the p.Arg155 amino acid residue in VCP. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15034582, 16790606, 17763460, 19364651, 26105173). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
