The NM_000176.3(NR3C1):c.68G>T (p.Arg23Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The gene NR3C1 is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 5 TSG, 2 oncogene, 1 driver citations). The gene NR3C1 is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 5 TSG, 2 oncogene, 1 driver citations). The gene NR3C1 is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 5 TSG, 2 oncogene, 1 driver citations). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.R23K: Benign/Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 351377, 2 stars); p.R23K: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1333751, 1 star)

Genes affected

NR3C1 (HGNC:7978): (nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 1) This gene encodes glucocorticoid receptor, which can function both as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements in the promoters of glucocorticoid responsive genes to activate their transcription, and as a regulator of other transcription factors. This receptor is typically found in the cytoplasm, but upon ligand binding, is transported into the nucleus. It is involved in inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation, and differentiation in target tissues. Mutations in this gene are associated with generalized glucocorticoid resistance. Alternative splicing of this gene results in transcript variants encoding either the same or different isoforms. Additional isoforms resulting from the use of alternate in-frame translation initiation sites have also been described, and shown to be functional, displaying diverse cytoplasm-to-nucleus trafficking patterns and distinct transcriptional activities (PMID:15866175).

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	B3Computational evidence does not support deleterious effect		Computational evidence does not support a deleterious effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer does not support an oncogenic/deleterious effect; supports B3
