Genes affected

HOXB6 (HGNC:5117): (homeobox B6) This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox B genes located on chromosome 17. The encoded protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in development, including that of lung and skin, and has been localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Altered expression of this gene or a change in the subcellular localization of its protein is associated with some cases of acute myeloid leukemia and colorectal cancer.

HOXB-AS3 (HGNC:40283): (HOXB cluster antisense RNA 3)

HOXB3 (HGNC:5114): (homeobox B3) This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a nuclear protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox B genes located on chromosome 17. The encoded protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in development. Increased expression of this gene is associated with a distinct biologic subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points.

• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.968
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 10 AD gene.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.592C>T (p.R198C) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 2) of the HOXB6 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 592, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 198 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
