Genes affected
HESX1 (HGNC:4877): (HESX homeobox 1) This gene encodes a conserved homeobox protein that is a transcriptional repressor in the developing forebrain and pituitary gland. Mutations in this gene are associated with septooptic dysplasia, HESX1-related growth hormone deficiency, and combined pituitary hormone deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Septo-optic dysplasia sequence;C2750027:Growth hormone deficiency with pituitary anomalies Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 06, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 160 of the HESX1 protein (p.Arg160His). This variant is present in population databases (rs766234350, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of septo-optic dysplasia (PMID: 22145475, 25500790, 27000987, 30266296). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 985575). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects HESX1 function (PMID: 27000987). This variant disrupts the p.Arg160 amino acid residue in HESX1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9620767, 19093031). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
