Genes affected
TSFM (HGNC:12367): (Ts translation elongation factor, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a mitochondrial translation elongation factor. The encoded protein is an enzyme that catalyzes the exchange of guanine nucleotides on the translation elongation factor Tu during the elongation step of mitchondrial protein translation. Mutations in this gene are associated with combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency-3 syndrome. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.22C>T (p.R8C) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the TSFM gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 22, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 8 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 8 of the TSFM protein (p.Arg8Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs755773165, gnomAD 0.1%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TSFM-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2073038). 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. -
