Genes affected
RFXANK (HGNC:9987): (regulatory factor X associated ankyrin containing protein) Major histocompatibility (MHC) class II molecules are transmembrane proteins that have a central role in development and control of the immune system. The protein encoded by this gene, along with regulatory factor X-associated protein and regulatory factor-5, forms a complex that binds to the X box motif of certain MHC class II gene promoters and activates their transcription. Once bound to the promoter, this complex associates with the non-DNA-binding factor MHC class II transactivator, which controls the cell type specificity and inducibility of MHC class II gene expression. This protein contains ankyrin repeats involved in protein-protein interactions. Mutations in this gene have been linked to bare lymphocyte syndrome type II, complementation group B. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 13 of the RFXANK protein (p.Thr13Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs373342097, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RFXANK-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 958608). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". 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. -

RFXANK NM_003721.3 exon 3 p.Thr13Ser (c.37A>T): This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in 0.05% (4/68020) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-19193983-A-T?dataset=gnomad_r3). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:958608). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may not impact the protein. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.37A>T (p.T13S) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 1) of the RFXANK gene. This alteration results from a A to T substitution at nucleotide position 37, causing the threonine (T) at amino acid position 13 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
