Description
This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 457 of the BTD protein (p.Val457Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs149690919, gnomAD 0.05%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BTD-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 92398). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The alanine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Val457 amino acid residue in BTD. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9396567, 28281033). 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.
