Genes affected
SERPINA6 (HGNC:1540): (serpin family A member 6) This gene encodes an alpha-globulin protein with corticosteroid-binding properties. This is the major transport protein for glucorticoids and progestins in the blood of most vertebrates. The gene localizes to a chromosomal region containing several closely related serine protease inhibitors which may have evolved by duplication events. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Observed in the homozygous state or with an additional SERPINA6 variant in patients with decreased cortisol-binding activity, but has not been described in association with frank CBG deficiency (PMID: 1504007, 7061486); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect with reduced cortisol binding affinity (PMID: 1504007); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Also known as L93H and CBG Leuven using alternate nomenclature; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 7061486, 1504007, 8212073, 22013108, 25010111, 30409984, 34308089, 27113851, 36681594, 38941154) -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The SERPINA6 c.344T>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu115His. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.34% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Variant summary: SERPINA6 c.344T>A (p.Leu115His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Serpin domain (IPR023796) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0022 in 251354 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0033 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database, strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.344T>A has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with multiple diseases including diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, hypertension, osteoarthritis, gastric erosions secondary to the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, septic shock and acute respiratory failure (Smith_1992). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Corticosteroid-Binding Globulin Deficiency. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in >50%-90% of normal steroid binding capacity in Chinese hamster ovary cells (Smith_1992). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 1504007). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16974). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
