SLC40A1 variants are documented based on GenBank accession number NM_014585.5. This table does not include three noncoding variations (c.-181A>G, c.-428-427GG>TT, and c.-59-45del) whose functional impact is unknown and nine missense variations (p.Ala45Glu, p.Ala69Val, p.Ser71Phe, p.Trp158Leu, p.Asn185Thr, p.Ala232Asp, p.Gly267Asp, p.Arg371TRp, and p.Arg371Gln) due to the lack of individual phenotypic information ([71]; [72]; [73]; [21]; [74]). Given our predictions in the context of the SLC40A1 3D structure (pdb 6WBV; Figure 3), we propose to use the supporting evidence code PP5 for the p.Gly494Asp variant and classify it in class 4 (instead of class 3); all other variants discussed in Section 2.3 are rated as class 4 or class 5 regardless of the PP5 criteria.
