Variant information Variant position:

265 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 Arginine (R) to Tryptophan (W) at position 265 (R265W, p.Arg265Trp). 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:

Change from large size and basic (R) to large size and aromatic (W) 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:

The OKT monoclonal antibodies are widely used for the analysis of human peripheral blood T-lymphocytes. OKT4 reacts with T-helper/inducer lymphocytes. The OKT4 epitope of the CD4 cell-surface protein is polymorphic in white, black, and Japanese populations. The variable phenotypic expression is due a CD4 polymorphism. OKT4 positive individuals carry Arg-265 and OKT4 negative individuals carry Trp-265 [MIM:613949]. Additional information on the polymorphism described.
Variant description:

In OKT4-negative populations. Any additional useful information about the variant.

Sequence annotation in neighborhood:

The regions or sites of interest surrounding the variant. In general the features listed are posttranslational modifications, binding sites, enzyme active sites, local secondary structure or other characteristics reported in the cited references. The "Sequence annotation in neighborhood" lines have a fixed format:

Type: the type of sequence feature.
Positions: endpoints of the sequence feature.
Description: contains additional information about the feature.

Type	Positions	Description
Chain	26 – 458	T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4
Topological domain	26 – 396	Extracellular
Domain	204 – 317	Ig-like C2-type 2
Mutagenesis	265 – 265	R -> A. Has no effect on the interaction with MHCII. Impairs recognition by OKT4 antibody.

Literature citations
Humans with OKT4-epitope deficiency have a single nucleotide base change in the CD4 gene, resulting in substitution of TRP240 for ARG240.
