This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg8Thrfs*28) in the USP53 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in USP53 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 32124521, 32759993). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with USP53-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
