Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 447 of the DDC protein (p.Arg447Ser). 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. This variant disrupts the p.Arg447 amino acid residue in DDC. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17240182, 32409695). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DDC-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%).
