Genes affected

PKNOX2 (HGNC:16714): (PBX/knotted 1 homeobox 2) Homeodomain proteins are sequence-specific transcription factors that share a highly conserved DNA-binding domain and play fundamental roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and death. PKNOX2 belongs to the TALE (3-amino acid loop extension) class of homeodomain proteins characterized by a 3-amino acid extension between alpha helices 1 and 2 within the homeodomain (Imoto et al., 2001 [PubMed 11549286]).[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2009]

The c.482G>A (p.R161H) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 4) of the PKNOX2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 482, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 161 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
