Submissions by phenotype

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 03, 2024The c.803A>G (p.N268S) alteration is located in exon 10 (coding exon 9) of the MELK gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 803, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 268 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
