Genes affected

NEUROG2 (HGNC:13805): (neurogenin 2) This gene encodes a neural-specific basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that can specify a neuronal fate on ectodermal cells and is expressed in neural progenitor cells within the developing central and peripheral nervous systems. The protein product of this gene also plays a role in the differentiation and survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

The c.154C>T (p.R52C) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the NEUROG2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 154, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 52 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
