Variant information
Variant position:
232
The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant:
LB/B
The variants are classified into three categories: LP/P, LB/B and US.LP/P: likely pathogenic or pathogenic. LB/B: likely benign or benign. US: uncertain significance
Residue change:
From Phenylalanine (F) to Tyrosine (Y) at position 232 (F232Y, p.Phe232Tyr).
Indicates the amino acid change of the variant. The one-letter and three-letter codes for amino acids used in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot are those adopted by the commission on Biochemical Nomenclature of the IUPAC-IUB.
Physico-chemical properties:
Similar physico-chemical property. Both residues are large size and aromatic.
The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score:
3
The score within a Blosum matrix for the corresponding wild-type to variant amino acid change. The log-odds score measures the logarithm for the ratio of the likelihood of two amino acids appearing by chance. The Blosum62 substitution matrix is used. This substitution matrix contains scores for all possible exchanges of one amino acid with another: Lowest score: -4 (low probability of substitution).Highest score: 11 (high probability of substitution).

Polymorphism:
Genetic variants in KITLG define the skin/hair/eye pigmentation variation locus 7 (SHEP7) [MIM:611664 ]. Hair, eye and skin pigmentation are among the most visible examples of human phenotypic variation, with a broad normal range that is subject to substantial geographic stratification. In the case of skin, individuals tend to have lighter pigmentation with increasing distance from the equator. By contrast, the majority of variation in human eye and hair color is found among individuals of European ancestry, with most other human populations fixed for brown eyes and black hair.A non-coding SNP (dbSNP:rs12821256) has been shown to be associated with classic blond hair color in Europeans. This SNP is located 350 kb upstream from KITLG, in an enhancer specifically active in the hair follicle environment. It alters a LEF1 binding site, reducing LEF1 responsiveness in cultured keratinocytes. This SNP is not associated with eye pigmentation. It is most prevalent in Northern Europe (PubMed:24880339 ). -
