Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PP3_ModerateBS2
The NM_183011.2(CREM):c.263A>T(p.Tyr88Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000812 in 1,601,188 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
CREM (HGNC:2352): (cAMP responsive element modulator) This gene encodes a bZIP transcription factor that binds to the cAMP responsive element found in many viral and cellular promoters. It is an important component of cAMP-mediated signal transduction during the spermatogenetic cycle, as well as other complex processes. Alternative promoter and translation initiation site usage allows this gene to exert spatial and temporal specificity to cAMP responsiveness. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene, with some of them functioning as activators and some as repressors of transcription.

Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.263A>T (p.Y88F) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 3) of the CREM gene. This alteration results from a A to T substitution at nucleotide position 263, causing the tyrosine (Y) at amino acid position 88 to be replaced by a phenylalanine (F). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
