NM_144573.4:c.871G>A
Variant summary
Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -7 ACMG points: 0P and 7B. BP4_ModerateBS1_SupportingBS2
The NM_144573.4(NEXN):c.871G>A(p.Glu291Lys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000757 in 1,453,286 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E291D) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Dilated cardiomyopathy 1CC;C3151267:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 20 Uncertain:2
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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has been observed in an individual with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 28790153). This variant is present in population databases (rs770120245, ExAC 0.01%). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 291 of the NEXN protein (p.Glu291Lys). The glutamic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and lysine. -
The p.Glu291Lys variant in the NEXN gene has not been previously reported in association with disease. This variant has been identified in 6/17,956 East Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). Computational tools predict that this variant does not impact protein function; however, the accuracy of in silico algorithms is limited. These data were assessed using the ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines. In summary, the significance of the p.Glu291Lys variant is uncertain. Additional information is needed to resolve the significance of this variant. In this case, neither pathogenic nor benign criteria could be applied to the variant, hence no ACMG codes were used, and the variant is a VUS [ACMG evidence codes used: none] -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.E291K variant (also known as c.871G>A), located in coding exon 8 of the NEXN gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 871. The glutamic acid at codon 291 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been detected in an individual from a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cohort; however, details were limited (Burns C et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2017 Aug;10). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
