The importance of this codon has been reclassified based on further research. Normally Asn, the Asn171Ser variant was identified in a patient with Prion disease, [PMID 9384372], and further research indicated that it may be associated with temporal lobe epilepsy [PMID 15304595].

However, more recent research [PMID 20583301] has indicated that the N171S variant is present in healthy members of numerous populations, reaching penetrance of 11% in Biaka Pygmies and 5% in Jamaicans. Thus this polymorphism is considered of unknown significance.
