Genes affected

HK2 (HGNC:4923): (hexokinase 2) Hexokinases phosphorylate glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, the first step in most glucose metabolism pathways. This gene encodes hexokinase 2, the predominant form found in skeletal muscle. It localizes to the outer membrane of mitochondria. Expression of this gene is insulin-responsive, and studies in rat suggest that it is involved in the increased rate of glycolysis seen in rapidly growing cancer cells. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.52C>G (p.Q18E) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the HK2 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 52, causing the glutamine (Q) at amino acid position 18 to be replaced by a glutamic acid (E). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
