Genes affected

POLR2B (HGNC:9188): (RNA polymerase II subunit B) This gene encodes the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (Pol II), a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that catalyzes the transcription of DNA into precursors of mRNA, snRNA and microRNA. This subunit and the largest subunit form opposite sides of the center cleft of Pol II. Deletion of the flap loop region of this subunit results in a decrease in the rate of transcriptional elongation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

The c.22A>G (p.M8V) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the POLR2B gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 22, causing the methionine (M) at amino acid position 8 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
