UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot O75445: Variant p.Arg4115Cys

Usherin
Gene: USH2A
Variant information

Variant position:  4115
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 Cysteine (C) at position 4115 (R4115C, p.Arg4115Cys).
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 polar (C)
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).

Involvement in disease:  Usher syndrome 2A (USH2A) [MIM:276901]: USH is a genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by the association of retinitis pigmentosa with sensorineural deafness. Age at onset and differences in auditory and vestibular function distinguish Usher syndrome type 1 (USH1), Usher syndrome type 2 (USH2) and Usher syndrome type 3 (USH3). USH2 is characterized by congenital mild hearing impairment with normal vestibular responses. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10729113, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10738000, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10909849, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11311042, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12112664, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12525556, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14970843, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15015129, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15025721, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15241801, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15325563, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17085681, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17405132, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18273898, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18452394, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19683999, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19737284, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20309401, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20440071, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20507924, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21593743, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21686329, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22004887, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23737954, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26377068, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9624053}.

Involvement in disease:  Retinitis pigmentosa 39 (RP39) [MIM:613809]: A retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10775529, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12112664, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12427073, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15325563, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16098008, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17296898, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20507924, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21686329, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22334370, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24227914}.
