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 (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 362554). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SFTPC-related conditions (PMID: 25657025, 33526882). This variant is present in population databases (rs201567623, gnomAD 0.03%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 59 of the SFTPC protein (p.His59Arg). -

Hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis Uncertain:1

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

The p.H59R variant (also known as c.176A>G), located in coding exon 2 of the SFTPC gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 176. The histidine at codon 59 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In one study, this variant was detected in trans with a second SFTPC alteration in a female with onset of symptoms at birth (Willander H et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2012 Feb;109:2325-9). In addition, this variant was identified in an individual with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema syndrome with onset of symptoms at age 11 years; this individual's healthy father was also heterozygous for the variant (Kr&ouml;ner C et al. Eur. Respir. J., 2015 Jul;46:197-206). In our internal cohort, this variant was observed in the homozygous state in a proband exhibiting surfactant deficiency on lung biopsy; parental testing revealed that both of the unaffected parents were heterozygous. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on available evidence to date, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
