Description
This variant is currently absent from large population controls, patient databases, and the medical literature (Genome Aggregation Database [GnomAD], ClinVar, HGMD). The c.292G>A change is in the last nucleotide (3' end) of exon 4 (NM_005411.4, total 6 exons). It is predicted to substitute the glycine at position 98 with arginine within the collagen-like domain of the protein. Its possible impact on splicing is unknown. In silico splice site prediction tools predict this change will affect splicing, but there is currently no functional data to support these predictions (Human Splicing Finder, Transcript Inferred Pathogenicity Score). This nucleotide position is semi-conserved across species (GERP 2.73) and the p.Gly98Arg change is predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico missense prediction tools (MutationTaster, MutationAssessor, FATHMM, SIFT). There is emerging evidence to support SFTPA1 pathogenic variantsas a rare cause of familial idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (PMID: 30854216, 26792177, 29977744, 31601679). All pathogenic sequencing variants reported to date have been missense changes. Both autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance and recessive inheritance models have been proposed.
