Description
The BCKDHB p.G9S variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in ClinVar. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs571728255) and in control databases in 42 of 148688 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.0002825, and was observed only in the South Asian population in 42 of 23324 chromosomes (1 homozygous) (freq: 0.001801) (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The p.G9 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (MUT Assesor, SIFT, MutationTaster, Revel, FATHMM, MetaLR, DANN) 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 in silico or computational prediction software programs (Splice AI exome) 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. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
