Genes affected

CASP6 (HGNC:1507): (caspase 6) This gene encodes a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family of enzymes. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic acid residues to produce two subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. This protein is processed by caspases 7, 8 and 10, and is thought to function as a downstream enzyme in the caspase activation cascade. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants that encode different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.821

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.841A>G (p.M281V) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 7) of the CASP6 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 841, causing the methionine (M) at amino acid position 281 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
