Ambry Genetics

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.8870G>A (p.R2957H) alteration is located in exon 60 (coding exon 59) of the DNAH8 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 8870, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 2957 to be replaced by a histidine (H). 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 histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2957 of the DNAH8 protein (p.Arg2957His). This variant is present in population databases (rs763438877, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DNAH8-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 525264). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Not Available"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The histidine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
