Thrombophilia due to protein C deficiency, autosomal dominant Pathogenic:3Uncertain:3
Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with autosomal domain and recessive thrombophilia due to protein C deficiency (MIM#176860, MIM#612304). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease. Heterozygous individuals may be asymptomatic, however, they are still at increased risk of venous thrombosis. Homozygous individuals often present with a more severe phenotype (OMIM). (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance, with asymptomatic carriers commonly reported (OMIM). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to tryptophan. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 for a condition (198 heterozygotes, 2 homozygotes), with an East Asian sub-population frequency of 0.7%. (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v2) (6 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0504 - Same amino acid change has been observed in placental mammals. (SB) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. However, an alternative change of weaker Grantham score (p.Arg189Gln), has been reported as a VUS (ClinVar). (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as a VUS, likely pathogenic and pathogenic, and is associated with protein C deficiency and idiopathic deep vein thrombosis. While it has been reported in healthy controls, it is strongly enriched in cohorts with bleeding disorders (ClinVar, LOVD, PMID: 22545135, 24162787, 30210609, 31064749, 31180159, 32964666). (SP) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. This variant is associated with decreased functional activity of protein C (PMID: 22545135, 32964666). (SP) 1206 - This variant has been shown to be paternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
Low GERP score may suggest that this variant may belong in a lower pathogenicity class -

The PROC c.565C>T p.(Arg189Trp) missense variant, also referred to as p.Arg147Trp, has been identified as a frequent genetic risk factor for hereditary protein C deficiency and venous thromboembolism in several Asian populations (PMID: 22545135; 23332921; 24233386; 32964666; 37950050). Multiple case-control studies have reported a significant association between the p.(Arg189Trp) variant and venous thrombosis (PMID: 22545135; 24233386; 37789321). This variant has been identified in the proband with a phenotype consistent with protein C deficiency. A functional study conducted in human cell lines demonstrated that this variant impacts protein function (PMID: 23389250). The highest frequency of this allele in the Genome Aggregation Database is 0.004479 in the East Asian population (version 4.1.0). This frequency is high but is consistent with disease prevalence estimates and reduced penetrance. Based on the available evidence, the c.565C>T p.(Arg189Trp) variant is classified as likely pathogenic for hereditary thrombophilia due to congenital protein C deficiency. -
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 189 of the PROC protein (p.Arg189Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs146922325, gnomAD 0.7%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with venous thromboembolism and PROC-deficiency (PMID: 7482420, 22545135, 22817391, 22944127, 23332921, 24028705, 24162787, 28111891, 32717757). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161342). 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 tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PROC function (PMID: 23389250). 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. -

Thrombophilia 3 due to protein C deficiency Pathogenic:2
The PROC c.565C>T (p.Arg189Trp) (also known as the p.Arg147Trp variant in the literature) has been identified as a common variant causing protein C deficiency among East Asian populations, with a reported frequency of 27.8% in the protein C deficient Chinese population (Ding_2014_PMID:23389250). The variant has been identified in numerous homozygous and heterozygous individuals with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and protein C deficiency (Duc Do_2021_PMID:32964666, Tang_2012_PMID:22545135, Li_2018_PMID:30210609, Ding_2014_PMID:23389250, Tang_2012_PMID:22817391). One case-control study in a Chinese DVT patient population identified the p.Arg189Trp variant at a frequency of 5.88% in the DVT population compared to 0.87% in healthy controls, and identified that first-degree relatives of affected patients who harbour the p.R189W variant have an 8.8-fold increased risk of venous thrombosis (Tang_2012_PMID:22817391, Tang_2012_PMID:22545135). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs146922325) and ClinVar (classified as uncertain by Invitae, Mendelics and 1 other submitter, pathogenic by Illumina, and likely pathogenic by NIHR Bioresource Rare Diseases, University of Cambridge). The variant was identified in control databases in 202 of 282736 chromosomes (2 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.0007144, and was observed at the highest frequency in the East Asian population in 156 of 19950 chromosomes (freq: 0.007820) (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The p.Arg189 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (MUT Assesor, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, MutationTaster, Revel, FATHMM, MetaLR) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (Splice AI) predict an uncertain effect on splicing. The p.Arg189Trp variant has shown to exhibit ~3 fold lower affinity for binding the EPCR transmembrane receptor (Ding_2014_PMID:23389250). In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more pathogenic role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely pathogenic – risk factor for thrombophilia due to protein C deficiency. -
