Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BP4_Strong
The NM_144991.3(TSPEAR):c.131C>T(p.Ala44Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000634 in 1,576,776 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A44G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

not specified Uncertain:1
Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Ala44Val vari ant in TSPEAR has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss, but has been identified in 0.1% (12/12560) of South Asian chromosomes by the Ex ome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs145231 394). This variant is not conserved across species. Of note, 2 mammals (pig an d white rhinoceros) and 5 reptiles have a valine (Val) at this position, suggest ing that the change at this position may be tolerated. In addition, computation al prediction tools suggest that the p.Ala44Val variant may not impact the prote in, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, while the clinical significance of the p.Ala44Val variant is uncert ain, the available data suggest that it is more likely to be benign.
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
The c.131C>T (p.A44V) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the TSPEAR gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 131, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 44 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
not provided Uncertain:1
Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The valine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229371). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 44 of the TSPEAR protein (p.Ala44Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs145231394, gnomAD 0.1%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TSPEAR-related conditions.
