Genes affected

ASCL3 (HGNC:740): (achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 3) Basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, such as ASCL3, are essential for the determination of cell fate and the development and differentiation of numerous tissues (Jonsson et al., 2004 [PubMed 15475265]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

The c.259G>A (p.E87K) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the ASCL3 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 259, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 87 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
