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

The c.650G>A (p.R217Q) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the POMGNT2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 650, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 217 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, 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 glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 217 of the POMGNT2 protein (p.Arg217Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs368280765, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POMGNT2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449180). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt POMGNT2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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.
