Description
This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 511 of the DNMT1 protein (p.Tyr511Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hereditary sensory neuropathy, dementia and hearing loss (PMID: 21532572, 25326637, 25678562). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Tyr495Cys. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 29682). 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 DNMT1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects DNMT1 function (PMID: 21532572, 28334952). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
