“…This variant involved conserved nucleotide changes that eventually replace the large and basic arginine with a medium-size and polar cysteine at codon 81. This variant has also previously been discovered in African [ 78 ], Italian [ 79 ], Venezuelan [ 80 ], Dutch [ 25 ] and Portuguese populations [ 81 ]. In silico findings from the present study were in agreement with other studies, wherein this variant was predicted to be damaging and to impact protein functioning [ 25 , 27 ]].…”
