Submissions by phenotype

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 21, 2024The c.541C>G (p.Q181E) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 6) of the MELK gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 541, causing the glutamine (Q) at amino acid position 181 to be replaced by a glutamic acid (E). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
