The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). It is statistically more frequent in affected individuals than in the general population and/or healthy controls. This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with clinical features of FTD/ALS as well as IBMPFD. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMIDs: 22270372, 27226613, 25492614) The variant is located in a region that is considered important for protein function and/or structure. -

The R159H variant in the VCP gene has been reported previously in association with inclusion body myopathy, Paget disease of the bone, and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD), as well as both sporadic and familial forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Haubenberger et al., 2005; Ayaki et al., 2014; van der Zee et al., 2009). In vitro expression studies of the R159H variant in SH-SY5Y cells showed a statistically significant increase in the percentage of cells with cytoplasmic TDP-43; translocation of TDP-43 to the cytoplasm and aggregation in the cytoplasm has previously been reported as a feature of VCP-related ALS (Ayaki et al., 2014). The R159H variant is observed in 1/22300 alleles from individuals of Finnish background in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Although the R159H variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, it occurs in the four-stranded b barrel in the CDC48 domain, a critical functional domain (Hubbers et al., 2007). We interpret R159H as a pathogenic variant. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.60 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.96 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000008474 /PMID: 16247064). Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg159Cys, p.Arg159Gly, p.Arg159Ser) have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000030152, VCV000280123, VCV000989439 /PMID: 17889967, 21145000, 30103325). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
VCP-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The VCP c.476G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg159His. This variant is reported to be causative for progressive proximal myopathy and Paget disease of the bone in four affected members of an Australian family (Haubenberger et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 16247064). It was also reported to be causative for inclusion body myopathy with early-onset Paget disease and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) (van der Zee et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19704082). In vitro functional studies in HEK293T and SH-SY5Y cells have demonstrated that expression of this variant results in TDP-43 mislocalization (Figure 6, Ayaki et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25492614). The c.476G>A variant has also been interpreted as pathogenic in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/8474/). This variant is reported in 0.0046% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 159 of the VCP protein (p.Arg159His). This variant is present in population databases (rs121909335, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with inclusion body myopathy associated with Paget disease of the bone and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) (PMID: 16247064, 19225410, 19704082, 22078486, 24829604, 26555887). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8474). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt VCP protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects VCP function (PMID: 22270372, 25492614, 26555887, 27226613). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
