Genes affected

HELB (HGNC:17196): (DNA helicase B) This gene encodes a DNA-dependent ATPase which catalyzes the unwinding of DNA necessary for DNA replication, repair, recombination, and transcription. This gene is thought to function specifically during the S phase entry of the cell cycle. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

The c.487A>G (p.R163G) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the HELB gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 487, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 163 to be replaced by a glycine (G). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
