Description
The IMPG2 p.Asn415Asp variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs138834349) and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by EGL Genetic Diagnostics and Illumina for Recessive Retinitis Pigmentosa). The variant was identified in control databases in 40 of 281754 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000142 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: Ashkenazi Jewish in 13 of 10322 chromosomes (freq: 0.001259), European (non-Finnish) in 25 of 128472 chromosomes (freq: 0.000195), Other in 1 of 7178 chromosomes (freq: 0.000139) and African in 1 of 24908 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), but was not observed in the Latino, East Asian, European (Finnish), or South Asian populations. The p.Asn415 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
