The c.332G>A (p.R111Q) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the ZKSCAN7 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 332, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 111 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
