Description
The PTPN11 c.1471C>T; p.Pro491Ser variant (rs397507539) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Noonan syndrome (Aoki 2008, Rasmussen 2008, Tartaglia 2006, van Trier 2016). This variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism, and it is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 40550). The proline at codon 491 is highly conserved, and functional assays suggest this variant causes increased phosphatase activity of the PTPN11 protein (Edwards 2014). Additionally, other amino acid substitutions at this codon (p.Pro491His, p.Pro491Leu, p.Pro491Phe) have been reported in individuals with Noonan syndrome and are considered disease-causing (Aoki 2008, Binder 2005, Schuettpelz 2009, Tartaglia 2006). Based on available information, the p.Pro491Ser variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Aoki Y et al. The RAS/MAPK syndromes: novel roles of the RAS pathway in human genetic disorders.
