Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM5PP2PP3_ModeratePP5
The NM_000372.5(TYR):c.1264C>T(p.Arg422Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000036 in 1,611,886 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R422Q) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Published functional studies have been inconsistent as to the effect of the R422W variant, with some studies showing only a slight decrease in enzyme activity and others showing no retained enzyme activity (Dolinska et al., 2014; Mondal et al., 2016; Dolinska et al., 2017; Farney et al., 2018); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31589614, 33177702, 32581362, 28976636, 28451379, 13680365, 30868138, 28667292, 27537549, 27775880, 24392141, 32898648) -
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 422 of the TYR protein (p.Arg422Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs749979474, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of TYR-related conditions (PMID: 13680365, 28667292, 28976636, 29345414, 32581362; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 437987). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on TYR protein function. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on TYR function (PMID: 24392141, 27537549, 27775880). This variant disrupts the p.Arg422 amino acid residue in TYR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1900309, 31077556). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
