• NM_001288590.2:c.43A>T

Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 2P and 2B. PM2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_001288590.2(ZKSCAN7):​c.43A>T​(p.Ser15Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S15N) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.43A>T (p.S15C) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the ZKSCAN7 gene. This alteration results from a A to T substitution at nucleotide position 43, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 15 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
