Gene: APOA1
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 197 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant: help 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: help From Arginine (R) to Cysteine (C) at position 197 (R197C, p.Arg197Cys). 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: help Change from large size and basic (R) to medium size and polar (C) The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score: help -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: help Genetic variations in APOA1 can result in APOA1 deficiency and are associated with low levels of HDL cholesterol [MIM:107680]. Additional information on the polymorphism described.
Variant description: help In Milano; correlated with decreased HDL levels and moderate increase in triglycerides; allows the formation of disulfide-linked homodimers via the introduced cysteine; assembles properly in HDL; alters protein structure; has no tendency to form fibrils and aggregates. Any additional useful information about the variant.
Other resources: help Links to websites of interest for the variant.


Sequence information Variant position: help 197 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 267 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help RAHVDALRTHLAPYSDELRQ R LAARLEALKENGGARLAEYH The residue change on the sequence. Unless the variant is located at the beginning or at the end of the protein sequence, both residues upstream (20) and downstream (20) of the variant will be shown.
Residue conservation: help The multiple alignment of the region surrounding the variant against various orthologous sequences.
