Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_001353026.2(NEK11):c.1758C>A(p.Cys586*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
NEK11 (HGNC:18593): (NIMA related kinase 11) This gene encodes a member of the never in mitosis gene A family of kinases. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleoli, and may function with NEK2A in the S-phase checkpoint. The encoded protein appears to play roles in DNA replication and response to genotoxic stress. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.1729C>A (p.Q577K) alteration is located in exon 18 (coding exon 16) of the NEK11 gene. This alteration results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 1729, causing the glutamine (Q) at amino acid position 577 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
