Genes affected
GFAP (HGNC:4235): (glial fibrillary acidic protein) This gene encodes one of the major intermediate filament proteins of mature astrocytes. It is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 197 of the GFAP protein (p.Ile197Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs779356682, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GFAP-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 376830). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on GFAP 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. -
