Description
The c.803T>C (p.I268T) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 8) of the MVK gene. This alteration results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 803, causing the isoleucine (I) at amino acid position 268 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on the available evidence, the c.803T>C p.I268T alteration is classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive mevalonate kinase deficiency; however, the association of this alteration with autosomal dominant MVK-related porokeratosis is unlikely. Based on data from gnomAD, the C allele has an overall frequency of 0.02% (44/282850) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.03% (36/129164) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This alteration has been reported as homozygous and compound heterozygous in multiple unrelated individuals with mevalonate kinase deficiency (Houten, 1999; Houten, 1999; Hinson, 1999; Cuisset, 2001; Sornsakrin, 2009; Gençpnar, 2012; Siemiatkowska, 2013; Jeyaratnam, 2016; Ter Haar, 2016; Dunn, 2018; Munoz, 2019; Correa, 2020; Brennenstuhl, 2021; Steiner, 2011). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In two different studies involving patient cell lines, cells from two different patients (one homozygote and one compound heterozygote) showed reduced MKase enzymatic activity levels (Houten, 1999; Hinson, 1999). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
