Genes affected

CASS4 (HGNC:15878): (Cas scaffold protein family member 4) Enables protein tyrosine kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of protein kinase B signaling; positive regulation of protein tyrosine kinase activity; and positive regulation of substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Located in focal adhesion. Part of cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

The c.751G>C (p.G251R) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 5) of the CASS4 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 751, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 251 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
