Variant information Variant position:

217 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 Histidine (H) at position 217 (R217H, p.Arg217His). 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 (H) The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score:

0 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:

GABRB3 variants may be associated with insomnia, a condition of inability to initiate or maintain sleep [MIM:137192]. Additional information on the polymorphism described.
Variant description:

Found in a subject suffering from insomnia; functional analysis reveals a slower rate of the fast phase of desensitization compared with alpha1beta3gamma2S GABA(A) receptors; current deactivation is faster in the mutated receptors. Any additional useful information about the variant.
