The c.444C>G (p.S148R) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the USP38 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 444, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 148 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
