The variant received 2 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). O3_Moderate

The NM_000053.4(ATP7B):c.2304delC (p.Met769CysfsTer38) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The gene ATP7B is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 1 oncogene citations). The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.000000684 (AC=1) in the gnomAD database across 1,461,892 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.000000684. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★).

Genes affected

ATP7B (HGNC:870): (ATPase copper transporting beta) This gene is a member of the P-type cation transport ATPase family and encodes a protein with several membrane-spanning domains, an ATPase consensus sequence, a hinge domain, a phosphorylation site, and at least 2 putative copper-binding sites. This protein is a monomer, and functions as a copper-transporting ATPase which exports copper out of the cells, such as the efflux of hepatic copper into the bile. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms with distinct cellular localizations, have been characterized. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Wilson disease which is characterized by copper accumulation. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2019]
