Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM2PP3_Strong

The NM_000116.5(TAFAZZIN):​c.583G>A​(p.Gly195Arg) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. 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. G195E) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
TAFAZZIN (HGNC:11577): (tafazzin, phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase) This gene encodes a protein that is expressed at high levels in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a number of clinical disorders including Barth syndrome, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic DCM, endocardial fibroelastosis, and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. A long form and a short form of each of these isoforms is produced; the short form lacks a hydrophobic leader sequence and may exist as a cytoplasmic protein rather than being membrane-bound. Other alternatively spliced transcripts have been described but the full-length nature of all these transcripts is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces glycine with arginine at codon 195 of the TAZ protein (p.Gly195Arg). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and arginine. It also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 7 of the TAZ coding sequence. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a TAZ-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Nucleotide substitutions at the last nucleotide of an exon are relatively common causes of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681), but according to multiple splice site algorithms, this variant is not predicted to significantly affect splicing. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. In summary, this variant is a novel missense change with uncertain impact on protein function and splicing. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
