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]

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. 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. 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 has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MRPL44-related conditions. This 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. -
