Description
Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Asn309Ser varia nt in JUP has not been reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy, but has been identified in 1/8600 European American chromosomes and 1/4406 African American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/ EVS/; dbSNP rs140606359). Asparagine (Asn) at position 309 is not completely con served in evolutionarily distant species with several (medaka, zebrafish, lampre y, and fruitfly) carrying a serine (Ser; this variant) at this position, suggest ing that this change may be tolerated. Additional computational analyses (bioche mical amino acid properties, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) also suggest that t his variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictiv e enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the presence of this variant in other species suggests that it is more likely benign, but additional information is needed to fully assess its clinical significance.
