Genes affected
LOX (HGNC:6664): (lysyl oxidase) This gene encodes a member of the lysyl oxidase family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate a regulatory propeptide and the mature enzyme. The copper-dependent amine oxidase activity of this enzyme functions in the crosslinking of collagens and elastin, while the propeptide may play a role in tumor suppression. In addition, defects in this gene have been linked with predisposition to thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

not provided Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 31, 2024This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 79 of the LOX protein (p.Ala79Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs752839330, gnomAD 0.03%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (PMID: 26838787). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 521345). 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 LOX 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 26, 2023Identified in two families with TAA, one of whom harbored an additional disease-causing variant in the ACTA2 gene; authors report p.(A79T) as likely benign (Guo et. al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26838787) -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 01, 2024Variant summary: LOX c.235G>A (p.Ala79Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00016 in 158608 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 99-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in LOX causing Aortopathy phenotype (1.7e-06), suggesting that the variant could be benign. c.235G>A has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with familial thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections with a reported alternate disease-causing ACTA2 mutation (e.g. Guo_2017). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Aortopathy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 521345). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
