Description
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 82 of the RAB27A protein (p.Arg82Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs753966933, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Griscelli syndrome and/or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (PMID: 27016801, 29357941, 32542393, 32856792, 32888943, 34329649; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419794). 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 RAB27A protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects RAB27A function (PMID: 27016801). 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.
