The NM_012123.4(MTO1):c.59T>C(p.Phe20Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,856 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
MTO1 (HGNC:19261): (mitochondrial tRNA translation optimization 1) This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein thought to be involved in mitochondrial tRNA modification. The encoded protein may also play a role in the expression of the non-syndromic and aminoglycoside-induced deafness phenotypes associated with a specific mutation in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces phenylalanine with serine at codon 20 of the MTO1 protein (p.Phe20Ser). The phenylalanine residue is weakly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between phenylalanine and serine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MTO1-related conditions. 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. 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. -
