Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23193944, 24073013, 27238058, 27858761, 21692911, 25408161, 28508289, 28635949, 26959691, 24767411, 16530227, 15110620, 9748569, 30328212, 28188196, 29048471, 30981840, 23713495, 12771895, 1301926, 22745357, 31353960, 31371117, 31826067, 31517333, 32740500, 26656838) (less)

The p.E109Q pathogenic mutation (also known as c.325G>C), located in coding exon 3 of the TTR gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 325. The glutamic acid at codon 109 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration, which is also known as p.E89Q, was first described in an Italian family with hereditary transthyretin (TTR)-related amyloidosis (Almeida MR et al. Hum Mutat. 1992;1(3):211-5). This alteration is the most common TTR mutation in the Italian population and is associated with a mixed phenotype (Coelho T et al. Curr Med Res Opin. 2013;29(1):63-76; Rapezzi C. et al. Eur Heart J. 2013;34(7):520-8, Castaño A, et al. Heart Fail Rev 2015 Mar; 20(2):163-78). In addition, another mutation at the same position, p.E109K, has also been described in individuals with hereditary TTR-related amyloidosis (Barreiros AP, et al. Liver Transpl. 2010;16(3):314-23), Rapezzi C, et al. Eur. Heart J. 2013;34(7):520-8). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by BayesDel in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. (less)

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 109 of the TTR protein (p.Glu109Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) and hATTR amyloidosis (PMID: 1301926, 28635949). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Glu89Gln (E89Q). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13442). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TTR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Glu109 amino acid residue in TTR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10842705, 20209591, 25644864, 28911993). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. (less)

Variant summary: The TTR c.325G>C (p.Glu109Gln) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide, resulting in a missense change within the transthyretin/hydroxyisourate hydrolase domain (InterPro). 3/4 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant is absent from the large control database ExAC (0/121328 control chromosomes). The variant has been identified in numerous heterozygous patients and families with transthyretin amyloidosis (e.g., Wixner_OJRD_2014; Nardo_TP_2004; Durmus-Tekce_Neuromusc Dis_2016). Overlapping and nearby disease-associated mutations such as E109K, H108R, H110N and H110D suggest the residue and the motif are critical for proper protein function. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. (less)

This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with clinical features associated with hereditary transthyretin-related amyloidosis and familial carpal tunnel syndrome and segregates with disease in multiple families. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), Cambridge, MA (URL: http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)). In some published literature, this variant is referred to as p.Glu89Gln. (less)

In a Sicilian family, Almeida et al. (1992) identified a glu89-to-gln substitution in transthyretin (E89Q) as the basis of amyloidosis presenting as neuropathy and cardiomyopathy (AMYLD1; 105210). In this and another Sicilian family (see 176300.0025), the TTR variants had been detected by isoelectric focusing (IEF); one was a neutral TTR variant and the other (E89Q) was basic. Three patients in the family with the E89Q mutation presented with carpal tunnel syndrome as the initial manifestation. Many years later, it was followed by polyneuropathy and cardiomyopathy responsible in 1 patient for intractable heart failure and death (Salvi et al., 1990). (less)
