Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4BS1_SupportingBS2
The NM_144573.4(NEXN):c.818G>A(p.Arg273His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000013 in 1,613,824 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R273C) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.R273H variant (also known as c.818G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the NEXN gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 818. The arginine at codon 273 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Dilated cardiomyopathy 1CC;C3151267:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 20 Uncertain:1
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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has been observed in an individual affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 28790153). However, in that individual a pathogenic allele was also identified in MYH7, which suggests that this c.818G>A variant was not the primary cause of disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs765385072, ExAC 0.01%). This sequence change replaces arginine with histidine at codon 273 of the NEXN protein (p.Arg273His). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and histidine. -
