Description
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.Arg118 amino acid residue in DGUOK. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with DGUOK-related conditions (PMID: 19380071), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. 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 DGUOK protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1324226). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (PMID: 18205204, 23141463). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (rs767604650, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 118 of the DGUOK protein (p.Arg118Cys).
