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. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 229 of the FRMD7 protein (p.Arg229Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with congenital motor nystagmus (PMID: 17768376, 28623544). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449483). 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 disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FRMD7 function (PMID: 23406872). This variant disrupts the p.Arg229 amino acid residue in FRMD7. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17962394). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. -
