Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 765 of the NTRK1 protein (p.Arg765His). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of NTRK1-related conditions and/or congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (PMID: 29770739, 31069529). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as Arg771His. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 858212). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on NTRK1 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg765 amino acid residue in NTRK1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 27265460, 27676246, 32219930). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
