Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_005460.4(SNCAIP):āc.1861C>Gā(p.Arg621Gly) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000031 in 1,614,050 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R621C) has been classified as Likely benign.
SNCAIP (HGNC:11139): (synuclein alpha interacting protein) This gene encodes a protein containing several protein-protein interaction domains, including ankyrin-like repeats, a coiled-coil domain, and an ATP/GTP-binding motif. The encoded protein interacts with alpha-synuclein in neuronal tissue and may play a role in the formation of cytoplasmic inclusions and neurodegeneration. A mutation in this gene has been associated with Parkinson's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
