Genes affected
SFTPC (HGNC:10802): (surfactant protein C) This gene encodes the pulmonary-associated surfactant protein C (SPC), an extremely hydrophobic surfactant protein essential for lung function and homeostasis after birth. Pulmonary surfactant is a surface-active lipoprotein complex composed of 90% lipids and 10% proteins which include plasma proteins and apolipoproteins SPA, SPB, SPC and SPD. The surfactant is secreted by the alveolar cells of the lung and maintains the stability of pulmonary tissue by reducing the surface tension of fluids that coat the lung. Multiple mutations in this gene have been identified, which cause pulmonary surfactant metabolism dysfunction type 2, also called pulmonary alveolar proteinosis due to surfactant protein C deficiency, and are associated with interstitial lung disease in older infants, children, and adults. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been identified.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

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. 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: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 235391). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SFTPC-related conditions (PMID: 29554876). This variant is present in population databases (rs183533911, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 39 of the SFTPC protein (p.Val39Met). -

The V39M variant in the SFTPC gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. Two other missense variants at this same codon, V39A and V39L, have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with interstitial lung disease, however in both cases, the SFTPC gene was the only gene tested (Guillot et al., 2009; Avital et al., 2014). The V39M variant is observed in 2/18870 (0.0106%) alleles from individuals of East Asian background, and in 9/276,906 total alleles, in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The V39M variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. We interpret V39M as a variant of uncertain significance. -

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

The SFTPC c.115G>A variant (rs183533911) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD v3.1.2: 8/152118 total alleles; 0.0053%; no homozygotes). This variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 235391), but has not been reported in the literature in association with pulmonary disease, to our knowledge. Of three bioinformatics tools queried, two predict that the substitution would be damaging, while one predicts that it would be tolerated, and the valine residue at this position is evolutionarily conserved across many species assessed6. We consider the clinical significance of c.115G>A to be uncertain at this time. -

The SFTPC c.115G>A (p.Val39Met) variant has been reported in one individual affected with developmental delay and history of recurrent respiratory infections (Prasad A et al., PMID:29554876). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a variant of uncertain significance by four submitters. This variant is only observed on 9 alleles of 280,678 alleles in the general population (gnomAD v.2.1.1), indicating it is not a common variant. Computational predictors are uncertain as to the impact of this variant on SFTPC function. Due to limited information and based on ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -
