Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_201439.2(PPHLN1):c.395A>G(p.Glu132Gly) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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.395A>G (p.E132G) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 4) of the PPHLN1 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 395, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 132 to be replaced by a glycine (G). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
