The Q158R (c.473 A>G) variant in the ARHGAP24 gene was initially reported in an Hispanic individual with familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and was also identified in his affected sister and mother. This variant was not present in another sister with a history of pregnancy-related proteinuria and hypertension, who did not have renal biopsy to fully evaluate her affected status (Akilesh et al., 2011). The Q158R (c.473 A>G) variant is observed in 41/11510 (0.37%) alleles from individuals of Latino background, including one homozygote, in the ExAC dataset (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). In-silico splice prediction models predict that this variant (c.473 A>G) may create a cryptic splice donor site in exon 5 that could supplant the natural splice donor site. However, in the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of the c.473 A>G change in this individual is unknown. If c.473 A>G does not alter splicing, it will result in the Q158R missense change, which is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Studies of an orthologous variant in mice (Q156R) demonstrate that this variant reduces the enzymatic activity of the Arhgap24 protein (Akilesh et al., 2011). Given the available evidence, we interpret Q158R (c.473 A>G) as a variant of uncertain significance. -
This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 158 of the ARHGAP24 protein (p.Gln158Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs112475438, gnomAD 0.3%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of ARHGAP24-related conditions (PMID: 21911940, 30406062). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224509). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ARHGAP24 function (PMID: 21911940). 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. -

ARHGAP24-related disorder Uncertain:1
The ARHGAP24 c.473A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gln158Arg. This variant was reported in the heterozygous state to segregate with end-stage kidney disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in a family with three affected and two unaffected individuals, and functional assays demonstrated reduced ARHGAP24 enzymatic activity (Akilesh et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21911940). This variant was also reported in the heterozygous state in two unrelated individuals with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (Table S2, Varner et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30406062). This variant is reported in 0.32% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD, including one homozygous individual. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
