UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot P01008: Variant p.Arg438Met

Antithrombin-III
Gene: SERPINC1
Chromosomal location: 1q23-q25.1
Variant information

Variant position:  438
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 Arginine (R) to Methionine (M) at position 438 (R438M, p.Arg438Met).
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 medium size and hydrophobic (M)
The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.

BLOSUM score:  -1
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:  Antithrombin III deficiency (AT3D) [MIM:613118]: An important risk factor for hereditary thrombophilia, a hemostatic disorder characterized by a tendency to recurrent thrombosis. Antithrombin-III deficiency is classified into 4 types. Type I: characterized by a 50% decrease in antigenic and functional levels. Type II: has defects affecting the thrombin-binding domain. Type III: alteration of the heparin-binding domain. Plasma AT-III antigen levels are normal in type II and III. Type IV: consists of miscellaneous group of unclassifiable mutations. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10997988, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11713457, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11794707, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12353073, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12595305, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12894857, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15164384, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1547341, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1555650, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16908819, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1906811, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2013320, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2229057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2365065, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23910795, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2781509, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3080419, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3162733, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3179438, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3191114, ECO:0000269|PubMed:3805013, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6582486, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7734359, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7832187, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7878627, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7959685, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7981186, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7989582, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7994035, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8274732, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8443391, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8486379, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9031473, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9157604, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9759613, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9845533, ECO:0000269|Ref.3, ECO:0000269|Ref.55}.
