Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.5937C>A (p.N1979K) alteration is located in exon 34 (coding exon 34) of the EPG5 gene. This alteration results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 5937, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 1979 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1979 of the EPG5 protein (p.Asn1979Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs150214973, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EPG5-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 534602). 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 EPG5 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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.
