Genes affected

HOXB13 (HGNC:5112): (homeobox B13) This gene encodes a transcription factor that belongs to the homeobox gene family. Genes of this family are highly conserved among vertebrates and essential for vertebrate embryonic development. This gene has been implicated to play a role in fetal skin development and cutaneous regeneration. In mice, a similar gene was shown to exhibit temporal and spatial colinearity in the main body axis of the embryo, but was not expressed in the secondary axes, which suggests functions in body patterning along the axis. This gene and other HOXB genes form a gene cluster at chromosome the 17q21-22 region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 47 of the HOXB13 protein (p.Asn47Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs748333323, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with prostate cancer (PMID: 22781434). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 483487). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The serine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The HOXB13 c.140A>G (p.Asn47Ser) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with prostate cancer (PMID: 22781434 (2012)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000063 (8/127812 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

The HOXB13 c.140A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asn47Ser. This variant was reported in an individual with prostate cancer (Akbari et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22781434). This variant is reported in 0.0063% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as a variant of uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/483487/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.140A>G (p.N47S) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the HOXB13 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 140, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 47 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
