Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BS2
The NM_001220.5(CAMK2B):c.1957G>A(p.Val653Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000549 in 1,457,388 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
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]

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 653 of the CAMK2B protein (p.Val653Met). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CAMK2B-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2965928). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
