Variant summary
Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -8 ACMG points: 0P and 8B. BP4_StrongBS2
The NM_004738.5(VAPB):c.289A>G(p.Thr97Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000601 in 1,581,870 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 17/22 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. T97T) has been classified as Likely benign.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 8 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. -
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 8;C1854058:Adult-onset proximal spinal muscular atrophy, autosomal dominant Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 97 of the VAPB protein (p.Thr97Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs752091117, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with VAPB-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 534270). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt VAPB 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. -
