Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2 PP2 PP3

The NM_001903.5(CTNNA1):c.1909G>A(p.Glu637Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E637E) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

CTNNA1 (HGNC:2509): (catenin alpha 1) This gene encodes a member of the catenin family of proteins that play an important role in cell adhesion process by connecting cadherins located on the plasma membrane to the actin filaments inside the cell. The encoded mechanosensing protein contains three vinculin homology domains and undergoes conformational changes in response to cytoskeletal tension, resulting in the reconfiguration of cadherin-actin filament connections. Certain mutations in this gene cause butterfly-shaped pigment dystrophy. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, CTNNA1
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.767

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 637 of the CTNNA1 protein (p.Glu637Lys). The glutamic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and lysine. 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with CTNNA1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 409005). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -

The p.E637K variant (also known as c.1909G>A), located in coding exon 13 of the CTNNA1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1909. The glutamic acid at codon 637 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. In one study, this alteration was identified in 1/151,425 individuals who underwent multi-gene germline genetic testing and classified as a variant of uncertain significance by the authors (Clark DF et al. Genet Med, 2020 May;22:840-846). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
