Description
p.Gly757Cys (GGT>TGT): c.2269 G>T in exon 15 of the CNTNAP2 gene (NM_014141.5). The G757C variant has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The G757C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is highly conserved across species, and in silico analysis predicts the G757C variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. However, other missense mutations in nearby residues have not been reported. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in EPILEPSY panel(s).
