Description
Recent study (not peer reviewed) including 590 probands with PXE showed a 2.9-fold enrichment of this variant among individuals with PXE versus population controls and incomplete penetrance, whereby only a small portion of probands with the p.(R391G) variant were symptomatic, but showed similar disease severity as probands with bi-allelic pathogenic loss-of-function variants (Szeri et al., 2020); Located in exon 9, a region with high sequence homology with an expressed pseudogene ABCC6P1; however, variant is not present in this pseudogene, which excludes the possibility that the high population frequency of p.(R391G) is due to a sequencing artifact; Arg391 residue is part of the 4th intracellular loop at the cytoplasmic surface of the protein and was suggested to have intramolecular interactions with several other residues and might be involved in the conformational switch of the protein (Szeri et al., 2020; Issa et al., 2020); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15086542, 34440381, 32445016, 11702217, 28102862, 11536079, 16410789, 16086317, 24008425, 14631379, 16835894, 29722917, 17617515, 23485117, 28655553, 31398764, 32818659, 22209248, 29487417, 32039214, 34205333, 32873932, 26135620, 34426522, 32442430, 34148116, 33005041)
