Description

Variant summary: SURF1 c.575G>A (p.Arg192Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in 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 1.2e-05 in 249494 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.575G>A has been reported in the literature in two compound heterozygous individuals with mitochondrial complex IV deficiency, affected with Leigh Syndrome (Wedatilake_2013, Schoonen_2019). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.

Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 192 of the SURF1 protein (p.Arg192Gln). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of SURF1-related conditions (PMID: 23829769, 30872186). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1329011). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant disrupts the p.Arg192 amino acid residue in SURF1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12515039, 19780766, 24027061, 27896082; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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.
