UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Q99972: Variant p.Ile477Ser

Myocilin
Gene: MYOC
Variant information

Variant position:  477
The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.

Type of variant:  Disease [Disclaimer]
The variants are classified into three categories: Disease, Polymorphism and Unclassified.
  • Disease: Variants implicated in disease according to literature reports.
  • Polymorphism: Variants not reported to be implicated in disease.
  • Unclassified: Variants with uncertain implication in disease according to literature reports. Evidence against or in favor of a pathogenic role is limited and/or conflicting.

Residue change:  From Isoleucine (I) to Serine (S) at position 477 (I477S, p.Ile477Ser).
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 medium size and hydrophobic (I) to small size and polar (S)
The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.

BLOSUM score:  -2
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).

Involvement in disease:  Glaucoma 1, open angle, A (GLC1A) [MIM:137750]: A form of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). POAG is characterized by a specific pattern of optic nerve and visual field defects. The angle of the anterior chamber of the eye is open, and usually the intraocular pressure is increased. However, glaucoma can occur at any intraocular pressure. The disease is generally asymptomatic until the late stages, by which time significant and irreversible optic nerve damage has already taken place. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10196380, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10330365, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10340788, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10644174, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10798654, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10819638, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10873982, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10916185, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10980537, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11004290, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11774072, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12189160, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12356829, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12362081, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12442283, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12860809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12872267, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15025728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15255110, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15534471, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15795224, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16401791, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17210859, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17499207, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25524706, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9005853, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9328473, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9345106, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9361308, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9490287, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9510647, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9521427, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9535666, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9697688, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9792882, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9863594}.
