Genes affected

LIMS2 (HGNC:16084): (LIM zinc finger domain containing 2) This gene encodes a member of a small family of focal adhesion proteins which interacts with ILK (integrin-linked kinase), a protein which effects protein-protein interactions with the extraceullar matrix. The encoded protein has five LIM domains, each domain forming two zinc fingers, which permit interactions which regulate cell shape and migration. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 4. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LIMS2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change results in a frameshift in the LIMS2 gene (p.Arg351Alafs*147). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 13 amino acid(s) of the LIMS2 protein and extend the protein by 133 additional amino acid residues. 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. -
