Description

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 212 of the NOTCH3 protein (p.Cys212Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with cerebral arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (PMID: 30402942, 31443546; Invitae). 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 NOTCH3 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Cys212 amino acid residue in NOTCH3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21217157, 25604251). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
