Genes affected

ULK2 (HGNC:13480): (unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 2) This gene encodes a protein that is similar to a serine/threonine kinase in C. elegans which is involved in axonal elongation. The structure of this protein is similar to the C. elegans protein in that both proteins have an N-terminal kinase domain, a central proline/serine rich (PS) domain, and a C-terminal (C) domain. The gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified.

The c.2924C>G (p.S975C) alteration is located in exon 26 (coding exon 26) of the ULK2 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 2924, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 975 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
