Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP4
The NM_183011.2(CREM):c.398C>T(p.Thr133Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000136 in 1,613,894 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T133K) has been classified 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.

The c.398C>T (p.T133M) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 4) of the CREM gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 398, causing the threonine (T) at amino acid position 133 to be replaced by a methionine (M). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
