Genes affected
CEBPA (HGNC:1833): (CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha) This intronless gene encodes a transcription factor that contains a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) domain and recognizes the CCAAT motif in the promoters of target genes. The encoded protein functions in homodimers and also heterodimers with CCAAT/enhancer-binding proteins beta and gamma. Activity of this protein can modulate the expression of genes involved in cell cycle regulation as well as in body weight homeostasis. Mutation of this gene is associated with acute myeloid leukemia. The use of alternative in-frame non-AUG (GUG) and AUG start codons results in protein isoforms with different lengths. Differential translation initiation is mediated by an out-of-frame, upstream open reading frame which is located between the GUG and the first AUG start codons. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]

Significance:Uncertain significance

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 178 of the CEBPA protein (p.Leu178Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CEBPA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 526799). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CEBPA protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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.

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

This sequence change is absent from the large population databases such as ExAC and gnomAD (dbSNP rs1325138029). The p.Leu178Val change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the CEBPA protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Leu178Val substitution. Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Leu178Val change remains unknown at this time.

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
