Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_001220.5(CAMK2B):āc.1957G>Cā(p.Val653Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000686 in 1,457,388 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
CAMK2B (HGNC:1461): (calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II beta) The product of this gene belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family and to the Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase subfamily. Calcium signaling is crucial for several aspects of plasticity at glutamatergic synapses. In mammalian cells, the enzyme is composed of four different chains: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The product of this gene is a beta chain. It is possible that distinct isoforms of this chain have different cellular localizations and interact differently with calmodulin. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
