Genes affected

ST3GAL2 (HGNC:10863): (ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to galactose-containing substrates. The encoded protein is normally found in the Golgi but can be proteolytically processed to a soluble form. This protein, which is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29, can use the same acceptor substrates as does sialyltransferase 4A. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.485G>A (p.R162Q) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 2) of the ST3GAL2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 485, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 162 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
