• NM_004387.4:c.957T>G

Variant summary

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

The NM_004387.4(NKX2-5):​c.957T>G​(p.His319Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H319R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

NKX2-5 (HGNC:2488): (NK2 homeobox 5) This gene encodes a homeobox-containing transcription factor. This transcription factor functions in heart formation and development. Mutations in this gene cause atrial septal defect with atrioventricular conduction defect, and also tetralogy of Fallot, which are both heart malformation diseases. Mutations in this gene can also cause congenital hypothyroidism non-goitrous type 5, a non-autoimmune condition. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.957T>G (p.H319Q) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the NKX2-5 gene. This alteration results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 957, causing the histidine (H) at amino acid position 319 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
