Genes affected

IGHMBP2 (HGNC:5542): (immunoglobulin mu DNA binding protein 2) This gene encodes a helicase superfamily member that binds a specific DNA sequence from the immunoglobulin mu chain switch region. Mutations in this gene lead to spinal muscle atrophy with respiratory distress type 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2035C>T (p.R679W) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 13) of the IGHMBP2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2035, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 679 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 679 of the IGHMBP2 protein (p.Arg679Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs371157210, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with IGHMBP2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 576574). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt IGHMBP2 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge
