Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PP3_ModerateBS2
The NM_003977.4(AIP):c.355C>T(p.Arg119Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000409 in 1,612,426 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R119Q) has been classified as Likely benign.

not provided    Uncertain:2 
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in a patient with growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (PMID: 24050928); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34426522, 9455613, Zhou2018[Poster], 24050928) -
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 119 of the AIP protein (p.Arg119Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs368933035, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pituitary adenoma (PMID: 24050928). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 485072). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -

The p.R119W variant (also known as c.355C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the AIP gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 355. The arginine at codon 119 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. In a study of Han Chinese patients with pituitary adenomas, this variant was observed in 1/216 sporadic pituitary adenoma patients and was not seen in the 6 familial pituitary adenoma families or in 100 unrelated healthy controls. This patient was 32 year old female diagnosed with an aggressive growth hormone secreting adenoma (Cai F et al. Eur. J. Endocrinol. 2013 Dec;169:867-84). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
