Description
This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 76 of the PTPN11 protein (p.Glu76Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with somatic juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and a fetus with a heart defect, hydrops, and persistent cystic hygroma (PMID: 12717436, 14644997, 21901340, 23756559, 23832011, 28098151). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13338). 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 PTPN11 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Glu76 amino acid residue in PTPN11. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11704759, 12634870, 16830086, 18678287, 22190897). 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.
