Description
This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 229 of the UGT1A1 protein (p.Pro229Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs35350960, gnomAD 2.0%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Gilbert disease (PMID: 7715297, 8528206, 14616765). This variant is frequently observed to be in cis with the c.-41_-40dup (aka UGT1A1*28 or (TA)7) variant (PMID: 11316168, 19325249, 15304120) This variant is also known as UGT1A1*27. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12274). 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 not expected to disrupt UGT1A1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects UGT1A1 function (PMID: 8528206, 18004206). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
