The NM_006060.6(IKZF1):c.551G>C(p.Arg184Pro) 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. R184W) 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 chr7-50382668-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 827712.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Likely_pathogenic=1}.
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 autoimmune disease, pancytopenia due to IKZF1 mutations.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.851
