Genes affected

TXNRD2 (HGNC:18155): (thioredoxin reductase 2) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family, and is a member of the thioredoxin (Trx) system. Three thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) isozymes are found in mammals. TrxRs are selenocysteine-containing flavoenzymes, which reduce thioredoxins, as well as other substrates, and play a key role in redox homoeostasis. This gene encodes a mitochondrial form important for scavenging reactive oxygen species in mitochondria. It functions as a homodimer containing FAD, and selenocysteine (Sec) at the active site. Sec is encoded by UGA codon that normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, which is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon rather than as a stop signal. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms, including a few localized in the cytosol and some lacking the C-terminal Sec residue, have been found for this gene.

The c.1573T>C variant (also known as p.*525Qext*?), located in coding exon 17 of the TXNRD2 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1573. The stop codon at position 525 is replaced by glutamine, disrupting the stop codon and elongating the protein. Frameshifts are typically deleterious in nature; however, this frameshift occurs at the 3' terminus of TXNRD2, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and results in the elongation of the protein, the exact functional impact of which is unknown at this time. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
