Genes affected

HOXB7 (HGNC:5118): (homeobox B7) 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 nuclear protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. Increased expression of this gene is associated with some cases of melanoma and ovarian carcinoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.155C>T (p.A52V) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the HOXB7 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 155, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 52 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
