Description
The EXT2 p.Asp115Ala variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs534539796) and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Illumina). The variant was identified in control databases in 14 of 251264 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00005572 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the South Asian population in 14 of 30614 chromosomes (freq: 0.000457), but was not observed in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), European (non-Finnish), or Other populations. The p.Asp115 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and three of four in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
