Genes affected
ALPL (HGNC:438): (alkaline phosphatase, biomineralization associated) This gene encodes a member of the alkaline phosphatase family of proteins. There are at least four distinct but related alkaline phosphatases: intestinal, placental, placental-like, and liver/bone/kidney (tissue non-specific). The first three are located together on chromosome 2, while the tissue non-specific form is located on chromosome 1. The product of this gene is a membrane bound glycosylated enzyme that is not expressed in any particular tissue and is, therefore, referred to as the tissue-nonspecific form of the enzyme. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature enzyme. This enzyme may play a role in bone mineralization. Mutations in this gene have been linked to hypophosphatasia, a disorder that is characterized by hypercalcemia and skeletal defects.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 71 of the ALPL protein (p.Arg71His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with less severe presentations of hypophosphatasia and autosomal recessive infantile or childhood-onset hypophosphatasia (PMID: 11438998, 19500388, 22322541, 22397652, 25731960, 31760938). This variant is also known as p.Arg54His. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1070177). 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 ALPL protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ALPL function (PMID: 19500388). This variant disrupts the p.Arg71 amino acid residue in ALPL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with ALPL-related conditions (PMID: 1409720, 10839996, 11760847, 28127875), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
