Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4_ModerateBS2

The NM_001377996.1(PPEF1):​c.1387C>T​(p.Arg463Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000024 in 1,205,935 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There are 13 hemizygotes in GnomAD. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/21 in silico tools predict 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. R463H) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
PPEF1 (HGNC:9243): (protein phosphatase with EF-hand domain 1) This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein phosphatase with EF-hand motif family. The protein contains a protein phosphatase catalytic domain, and at least two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs in its C terminus. Although its substrate(s) is unknown, the encoded protein has been suggested to play a role in specific sensory neuron function and/or development. This gene shares high sequence similarity with the Drosophila retinal degeneration C (rdgC) gene. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants, each encoding a distinct isoform, have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The c.1387C>T (p.R463C) alteration is located in exon 15 (coding exon 12) of the PPEF1 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1387, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 463 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
