Genes affected

TTR (HGNC:12405): (transthyretin) This gene encodes one of the three prealbumins, which include alpha-1-antitrypsin, transthyretin and orosomucoid. The encoded protein, transthyretin, is a homo-tetrameric carrier protein, which transports thyroid hormones in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. It is also involved in the transport of retinol (vitamin A) in the plasma by associating with retinol-binding protein. The protein may also be involved in other intracellular processes including proteolysis, nerve regeneration, autophagy and glucose homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with amyloid deposition, predominantly affecting peripheral nerves or the heart, while a small percentage of the gene mutations are non-amyloidogenic. The mutations are implicated in the etiology of several diseases, including amyloidotic polyneuropathy, euthyroid hyperthyroxinaemia, amyloidotic vitreous opacities, cardiomyopathy, oculoleptomeningeal amyloidosis, meningocerebrovascular amyloidosis and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Variant summary: TTR c.149T>C (p.Val50Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Transthyretin/hydroxyisourate hydrolase domain (IPR023416) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251462 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.149T>C has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Transthyretin Amyloidosis (e.g. Liu_2017, Meng_2015, Nepomuceno_2004, Suhr_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function suggest that the variant promotes the formation of unfolded monomers and amyloid fibrils, which potentially contribute to increased neurotoxicity and pathology (Zhang_2013). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant disrupts the p.Val50 amino acid residue in TTR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22620962, 22745357, 23833285, 24455802, 24555660, 26115788). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TTR protein function (PMID: 23523753). This sequence change replaces valine with alanine at codon 50 of the TTR protein (p.Val50Ala). The valine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between valine and alanine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) (PMID: 1544214, 12757474, 17503405, 22745357, 26521788). This variant is also known as Val30Ala. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13430). 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 expected to disrupt TTR protein function. -
