This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 247 of the KERA protein (p.Asn247Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs121917858, gnomAD 0.5%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cornea plana (PMID: 10802664, 17679937, 28677912). It is commonly reported in individuals of Finnish ancestry (PMID: 10802664, 11754099). This variant is also known as 247A‚ÜíG N247S. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6519). 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 disruptive. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
