Description
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 666 of the SPG7 protein (p.Gly666Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs752989523, gnomAD 0.002%). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. 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 SPG7 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216571). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary spastic paraplegia (PMID: 23733235; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals.
