Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP4

The NM_004327.4(BCR):c.232C>T(p.Arg78Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000716 in 1,173,180 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).

Genes affected

BCR (HGNC:1014): (BCR activator of RhoGEF and GTPase) A reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 22 and 9 produces the Philadelphia chromosome, which is often found in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. The chromosome 22 breakpoint for this translocation is located within the BCR gene. The translocation produces a fusion protein which is encoded by sequence from both BCR and ABL, the gene at the chromosome 9 breakpoint. Although the BCR-ABL fusion protein has been extensively studied, the function of the normal BCR gene product is not clear. The unregulated tyrosine kinase activity of BCR-ABL1 contributes to the immortality of leukaemic cells. The BCR protein has serine/threonine kinase activity and is a GTPase-activating protein for p21rac and other kinases. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2020]

Jan 03, 2022

The c.232C>T (p.R78W) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the BCR gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 232, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 78 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
