Description
This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 148 of the BBS4 protein (p.Leu148Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs373214822, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BBS4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2158195). 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 BBS4 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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.
