Genes affected
KYNU (HGNC:6469): (kynureninase) Kynureninase is a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (pyridoxal-P) dependent enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of L-kynurenine and L-3-hydroxykynurenine into anthranilic and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acids, respectively. Kynureninase is involved in the biosynthesis of NAD cofactors from tryptophan through the kynurenine pathway. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Submissions by phenotype

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 08, 2022The c.127A>G (p.R43G) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the KYNU gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 127, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 43 to be replaced by a glycine (G). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
