Genes affected
ATP7B (HGNC:870): (ATPase copper transporting beta) This gene is a member of the P-type cation transport ATPase family and encodes a protein with several membrane-spanning domains, an ATPase consensus sequence, a hinge domain, a phosphorylation site, and at least 2 putative copper-binding sites. This protein is a monomer, and functions as a copper-transporting ATPase which exports copper out of the cells, such as the efflux of hepatic copper into the bile. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms with distinct cellular localizations, have been characterized. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Wilson disease which is characterized by copper accumulation. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2019]

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1288 of the ATP7B protein (p.Thr1288Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs373748155, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of ATP7B-related conditions and/or Wilson disease (PMID: 20967755; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 554964). 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 expected to disrupt ATP7B protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Thr1288 amino acid residue in ATP7B. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16416207, 17410460; internal data). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Variant summary: ATP7B c.3863C>T (p.Thr1288Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 249536 control chromosomes. c.3863C>T has been observed in individual affected with Wilson Disease (example: Lepori_2007, Nicastro_2010, internal data). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 17949296, 20967755). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 554964). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic.
