Genes affected

AQP4 (HGNC:637): (aquaporin 4) This gene encodes a member of the aquaporin family of intrinsic membrane proteins that function as water-selective channels in the plasma membranes of many cells. This protein is the predominant aquaporin found in brain and has an important role in brain water homeostasis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. Additional isoforms, resulting from the use of alternative in-frame translation initiation codons, have also been described. Recent studies provided evidence for translational readthrough in this gene, and expression of C-terminally extended isoforms via the use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon.

The c.386G>C (p.G129A) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the AQP4 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 386, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 129 to be replaced by an alanine (A). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
