Description
This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 3 of the UROS protein (p.Val3Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs773301339, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with congenital erythropoietic porphyria (PMID: 9188670, 23626549; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1066786). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects UROS function (PMID: 19099412). 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.
