Genes affected
NOTCH1 (HGNC:7881): (notch receptor 1) This gene encodes a member of the NOTCH family of proteins. Members of this Type I transmembrane protein family share structural characteristics including an extracellular domain consisting of multiple epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) repeats, and an intracellular domain consisting of multiple different domain types. Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved intercellular signaling pathway that regulates interactions between physically adjacent cells through binding of Notch family receptors to their cognate ligands. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed in the trans-Golgi network to generate two polypeptide chains that heterodimerize to form the mature cell-surface receptor. This receptor plays a role in the development of numerous cell and tissue types. Mutations in this gene are associated with aortic valve disease, Adams-Oliver syndrome, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

The NOTCH1 c.4014G>A; p.Ala1338Ala variant (rs377217445), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 134931). This variant is found in the African/African-American population with an allele frequency of 0.13% (27/20,962 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database, which is higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in this gene. However, computational analyses (Alamut Visual Plus v.1.5.1) predict that this variant may impact splicing by weakening the nearby canonical donor splice site. Due to conflicting information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.4014G>A (p.A1338A) alteration is located in exon 24 (coding exon 24) of the NOTCH1 gene. This alteration consists of a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4014. This nucleotide substitution does not change the amino acid at codon 1338. However, this change occurs in the last nucleotide of Exon 24 (c.3902_4014) which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
