Genes affected
MRPL44 (HGNC:16650): (mitochondrial ribosomal protein L44) Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 39S subunit protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedliterature onlyOMIMSep 13, 2021- -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 02, 2021This variant is present in population databases (rs143697995, ExAC 0.01%). This sequence change replaces leucine with proline at codon 156 of the MRPL44 protein (p.Leu156Pro). The leucine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between leucine and proline. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MRPL44-related conditions. 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: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant disrupts the p.Leu156 amino acid residue in MRPL44. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 23315540, 25797485). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
