Nucleotide numbering reflects cDNA numbering with 1 corresponding to the A of the ATG translation initiation codon in the MAPK1 reference sequence (GenBank: NM_002745.4). No variants were reported in the public databases ExAC and gnomAD.
All variants were predicted to be “deleterious” by Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner (REVEL) and/or Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion (CADD) v.1.3 algorithms.43,44 Scores > 15 (CADDphred) or > 0.5 (REVEL) predict that the sequence change has a significant impact on protein structure and function.
dN/dS metric detects evolutionary pressure in protein-coding regions and genomes and is used to measure genetic tolerance.45 Residues with dN/dS values < 0.53 are considered to map within regions “intolerant” to nonsynonymous variation, those with a ratio < 0.18 are supposed to be within “highly intolerant” regions (see Figure S2).
All changes satisfied the necessary criteria to be classified as pathogenic according to the American College of Medical Genetics criteria (see InterVar in Web Resources).46 c.221T>A: PS2, PS3, PM1, PM2, PP2, PP3. c.238C>T: PS2, PS3, PM1, PM2, PP2, PP3. c.521C>T: PS2, PS3, PM1, PM2, PP2, PP3. c.952G>A: PS2, PS3, PM1, PM2, PP2, PP3. c.953A>G: PS2, PS3, PM1, PM2, PP2, PP3. c.964G>C: PS2, PS3, PM1, PM2, PM5, PP2, PP3. c.968C>G: PS2, PS3, PM1, PM2, PP2, PP3.
