Description
The R262Q variant has been published previously as a pathogenic founder variant in association with GNRHR-related disorders (de Roux et al., 1997; Lin et al., 2006; Pitteloud et al., 2007). The R262Q variant is observed in 36/6614 (0.544%) alleles from individuals of Finnish background in the ExAC dataset (Lek et al., 2016). R262Q is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Functional studies have shown R262Q impairs IP3 production and GnRH signal transmission (de Roux et al., 1997; Layman et al., 1998). In summary, we consider this variant to be pathogenic.
