ClinVar

Description

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TMPRSS3-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 306 of the TMPRSS3 protein (p.Ala306Val). 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 expected to disrupt TMPRSS3 protein function. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Ala306 amino acid residue in TMPRSS3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17551081, 23208854, 24526180, 28246597). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing.
