Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_004390.5(CTSH):c.739A>G(p.Asn247Asp) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,461,688 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
CTSH (HGNC:2535): (cathepsin H) The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal cysteine proteinase important in the overall degradation of lysosomal proteins. It is composed of a dimer of disulfide-linked heavy and light chains, both produced from a single protein precursor. The encoded protein, which belongs to the peptidase C1 protein family, can act both as an aminopeptidase and as an endopeptidase. Increased expression of this gene has been correlated with malignant progression of prostate tumors. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
The c.739A>G (p.N247D) alteration is located in exon 10 (coding exon 10) of the CTSH gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 739, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 247 to be replaced by an aspartic acid (D). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
