Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2PP3_Moderate
The NM_015416.5(LETMD1):c.559C>T(p.Arg187Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000341 in 1,613,672 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
LETMD1 (HGNC:24241): (LETM1 domain containing 1) This gene encodes a mitochondrial outer membrane protein. It has a potential role in tumorigenesis, which may result from negative regulation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been noted for this gene.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.559C>T (p.R187W) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the LETMD1 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 559, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 187 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
