Genes affected
FBXL4 (HGNC:13601): (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 4) This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family, which are characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. F-box proteins constitute one subunit of modular E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, called SCF complexes, which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box domain mediates protein-protein interactions and binds directly to S-phase kinase-associated protein 1. In addition to an F-box domain, the encoded protein contains at least 9 tandem leucine-rich repeats. The ubiquitin ligase complex containing the encoded protein may function in cell-cycle control by regulating levels of lysine-specific demethylase 4A. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

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

This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 176 of the FBXL4 protein (p.Trp176Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs201149065, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FBXL4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 437589). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FBXL4 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
