Genes affected

PAK1 (HGNC:8590): (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 1) This gene encodes a family member of serine/threonine p21-activating kinases, known as PAK proteins. These proteins are critical effectors that link RhoGTPases to cytoskeleton reorganization and nuclear signaling, and they serve as targets for the small GTP binding proteins Cdc42 and Rac. This specific family member regulates cell motility and morphology. Mutations in this gene have been associated with macrocephaly, seizures, and speech delay. Overexpression of this gene is also reported in many cancer types, and particularly in breast cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

The PAK1 c.1226delG variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Gly409Aspfs*6). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. To date, there is no truncating variants of this gene documented in Human Gene Mutation Database and the role of this type of variants is unknown. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
