Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PP3
The NM_001391906.1(EIF4G3):c.3872A>C(p.His1291Pro) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
EIF4G3 (HGNC:3298): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 3) The protein encoded by this gene is thought to be part of the eIF4F protein complex, which is involved in mRNA cap recognition and transport of mRNAs to the ribosome. Interestingly, a microRNA (miR-520c-3p) has been found that negatively regulates synthesis of the encoded protein, and this leads to a global decrease in protein translation and cell proliferation. Therefore, this protein is a key component of the anti-tumor activity of miR-520c-3p. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.3812A>C (p.H1271P) alteration is located in exon 27 (coding exon 23) of the EIF4G3 gene. This alteration results from a A to C substitution at nucleotide position 3812, causing the histidine (H) at amino acid position 1271 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
