Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PP3
The NM_001256732.3(SSBP2):c.565C>T(p.Pro189Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000167 in 1,613,616 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
SSBP2 (HGNC:15831): (single stranded DNA binding protein 2) This gene encodes a subunit of a protein complex that interacts with single-stranded DNA and is involved in the DNA damage response and maintenance of genome stability. The encoded protein may also play a role in telomere repair. A variant of this gene may be associated with survival in human glioblastoma patients. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.565C>T (p.P189S) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the SSBP2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 565, causing the proline (P) at amino acid position 189 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
