Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate
The NM_020631.6(PLEKHG5):c.1616C>T(p.Ala539Val) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00019 in 1,571,862 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A539A) has been classified as Likely benign.

In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
not specified Uncertain:1
The p.Ala539Val variant (rs370515061) has not been reported in the medical literature, gene specific variation databases, nor has it been previously identified by our laboratory. This variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) with an overall population frequency of 0.04 percent (identified on 45 out of 100,098 chromosomes) and has been reported to the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 194553). The alanine at position 539 is moderately conserved and computational analyses of the effects of the p.Ala539Val variant on protein structure and function is neutral (SIFT: tolerated, PolyPhen-2: benign). Altogether, there is not enough evidence to classify the p.Ala539Val variant with certainty. -
Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, autosomal recessive 4 Uncertain:1
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
The c.1616C>T (p.A539V) alteration is located in exon 15 (coding exon 14) of the PLEKHG5 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1616, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 539 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, autosomal recessive 4;C3809309:Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease recessive intermediate C Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 539 of the PLEKHG5 protein (p.Ala539Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs370515061, gnomAD 0.04%). 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: 194553). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
