Description
The PREPL p.Lys532Arg variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs111438719) and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae and as uncertain significance by CeGaT Praxis fuer Humangenetik Tuebingen). The variant was identified in control databases in 433 of 280810 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.001542 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: Ashkenazi Jewish in 60 of 10336 chromosomes (freq: 0.005805), Latino in 142 of 35010 chromosomes (freq: 0.004056), African in 84 of 24904 chromosomes (freq: 0.003373), Other in 18 of 7174 chromosomes (freq: 0.002509), European (non-Finnish) in 116 of 128520 chromosomes (freq: 0.000903) and South Asian in 13 of 30024 chromosomes (freq: 0.000433), but was not observed in the East Asian or European (Finnish) populations. The p.Lys532 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however four out of five 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 although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign.
