The NM_006060.6(IKZF1):c.500A>C(p.His167Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H167Y) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
IKZF1 (HGNC:13176): (IKAROS family zinc finger 1) This gene encodes a transcription factor that belongs to the family of zinc-finger DNA-binding proteins associated with chromatin remodeling. The expression of this protein is restricted to the fetal and adult hemo-lymphopoietic system, and it functions as a regulator of lymphocyte differentiation. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. Most isoforms share a common C-terminal domain, which contains two zinc finger motifs that are required for hetero- or homo-dimerization, and for interactions with other proteins. The isoforms, however, differ in the number of N-terminal zinc finger motifs that bind DNA and in nuclear localization signal presence, resulting in members with and without DNA-binding properties. Only a few isoforms contain the requisite three or more N-terminal zinc motifs that confer high affinity binding to a specific core DNA sequence element in the promoters of target genes. The non-DNA-binding isoforms are largely found in the cytoplasm, and are thought to function as dominant-negative factors. Overexpression of some dominant-negative isoforms have been associated with B-cell malignancies, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-50382617-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 2030696.
PP2
Missense variant in the IKZF1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 11 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.3753 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.423 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to pancytopenia due to IKZF1 mutations, autoimmune disease.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.954
