Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2BP4_Strong
The NM_001376113.1(ZBTB38):c.1220G>A(p.Arg407His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000013 in 1,614,064 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
ZBTB38 (HGNC:26636): (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 38) The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger transcriptional activator that binds methylated DNA. The encoded protein can form homodimers or heterodimers through the zinc finger domains. In mouse, inhibition of this protein has been associated with apoptosis in some cell types.

The c.1220G>A (p.R407H) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 1) of the ZBTB38 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1220, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 407 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
