Description
Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TOPORS-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs560530251, gnomAD 0.02%). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 66 of the TOPORS protein (p.Glu66Asp). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 2, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon.
