Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BS2
The NM_201439.2(PPHLN1):c.240T>A(p.Asp80Glu) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000651 in 1,613,490 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
PPHLN1 (HGNC:19369): (periphilin 1) The protein encoded by this gene is one of the several proteins that become sequentially incorporated into the cornified cell envelope during the terminal differentiation of keratinocyte at the outer layers of epidermis. This protein interacts with periplakin, which is known as a precursor of the cornified cell envelope. The cellular localization pattern and insolubility of this protein suggest that it may play a role in epithelial differentiation and contribute to epidermal integrity and barrier formation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.240T>A (p.D80E) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 3) of the PPHLN1 gene. This alteration results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 240, causing the aspartic acid (D) at amino acid position 80 to be replaced by a glutamic acid (E). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
