ClinVar

Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 33 of the ZDHHC9 protein (p.Arg33Gln). 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ZDHHC9-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 942741). 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 ZDHHC9 protein function. 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.
