Genes affected

VAX2 (HGNC:12661): (ventral anterior homeobox 2) This gene encodes a homeobox protein and is almost exclusively expressed in the ventral portion of the retina during development. In mouse studies, this gene was found to be required for the correct formation of the optic fissure and other aspects of retinal development. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.371G>C (p.C124S) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the VAX2 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 371, causing the cysteine (C) at amino acid position 124 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The VAX2 c.371G>C (p.Cys124Ser) variant, to our knowledge, has not been reported in the medical literature and is only observed on 2/250,150 alleles in the general population (gnomAD v.2.1.1), indicating it is not a common variant. This variant changes a nonpolar cysteine to a polar serine, the variant resides within the homeobox region at the end of a helix, and computational predictors indicate that the variant is damaging, evidence that correlates with impact to VAX2 function. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -
