UniProtKB/SwissProt variant VAR

Variant information

Variant position:

445

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 Threonine (T) to Proline (P) at position 445 (T445P, p.Thr445Pro).

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 polar (T) to medium size and hydrophobic (P)

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:

Vitreoretinopathy, exudative 1 (EVR1) [MIM:133780]: A disorder of the retinal vasculature characterized by an abrupt cessation of growth of peripheral capillaries, leading to an avascular peripheral retina. This may lead to compensatory retinal neovascularization, which is thought to be induced by hypoxia from the initial avascular insult. New vessels are prone to leakage and rupture causing exudates and bleeding, followed by scarring, retinal detachment and blindness. Clinical features can be highly variable, even within the same family. Patients with mild forms of the disease are asymptomatic, and their only disease related abnormality is an arc of avascular retina in the extreme temporal periphery. In many ways the disease resembles retinopathy of prematurity but there is no evidence of prematurity or small birth weight in the patient history. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12172548, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14507768, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15035989, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15223780, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15370539, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15488808, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15733276, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15981244, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17093393, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17955262, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19172507, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19324841, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20340138}.
