Description

Variant summary: C3 c.193A>C (p.Lys65Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the MG2 domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.8e-05 in 251474 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in C3 causing C3 Deficiency (4.8e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.193A>C has been reported in the literature in multiple heterozygous individuals affected with atypical Haemolytic uraemic syndrome without strong evidence of segregation (examples: Volokhina_2012, Duvvari_2014, Fidalgo_2017, Wilson_2020, Akesson_2021, Ardissino_2021). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with C3 Deficiency. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, however, does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect (Volokhina_2012). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22669319, 24736606, 30046676, 35372954, 33609329, : 34169201). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 381739). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
