Genes affected
STK4 (HGNC:11408): (serine/threonine kinase 4) The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic kinase that is structurally similar to the yeast Ste20p kinase, which acts upstream of the stress-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. The encoded protein can phosphorylate myelin basic protein and undergoes autophosphorylation. A caspase-cleaved fragment of the encoded protein has been shown to be capable of phosphorylating histone H2B. The particular phosphorylation catalyzed by this protein has been correlated with apoptosis, and it's possible that this protein induces the chromatin condensation observed in this process.

Combined immunodeficiency due to STK4 deficiency Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 24, 2022This sequence change falls in intron 1 of the STK4 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the STK4 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs766185825, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with STK4-related conditions. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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. -
