Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the PLEKHG5 gene. The R333W variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The R333W variant is observed in 10/54458 (0.0001%) alleles from individuals of European (Non-Finnish) background, (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The R333W variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. Additionally, this substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: PLEKHG5 c.997C>T (p.Arg333Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 245496 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in PLEKHG5 causing Distal Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Autosomal Recessive 4 (0.00011 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.997C>T in individuals affected with Distal Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Autosomal Recessive 4 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 373421). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R333W variant (also known as c.997C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the PLEKHG5 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 997. The arginine at codon 333 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 333 of the PLEKHG5 protein (p.Arg333Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs148232621, gnomAD 0.1%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PLEKHG5-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 373421). 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"). 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. -
