Genetic Variant CST4:p.Gly79Ala (chr20-23687194-C-G) – ACMG Classification: Likely_benign (-6 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4_StrongBP6_Moderate

The NM_001899.3(CST4):c.236G>C(p.Gly79Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000232 in 1,614,000 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G79W) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

CST4 (HGNC:2476): (cystatin S) The cystatin superfamily encompasses proteins that contain multiple cystatin-like sequences. Some of the members are active cysteine protease inhibitors, while others have lost or perhaps never acquired this inhibitory activity. There are three inhibitory families in the superfamily, including the type 1 cystatins (stefins), type 2 cystatins and the kininogens. The type 2 cystatin proteins are a class of cysteine proteinase inhibitors found in a variety of human fluids and secretions. The cystatin locus on chromosome 20 contains the majority of the type 2 cystatin genes and pseudogenes. This gene is located in the cystatin locus and encodes a type 2 salivary cysteine peptidase inhibitor. The protein is an S-type cystatin, based on its high level of expression in saliva, tears and seminal plasma. The specific role in these fluids is unclear but antibacterial and antiviral activity is present, consistent with a protective function. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
