Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PM4_Supporting
The NM_022893.4(BCL11A):c.2401_2403delAAA(p.Lys801del) variant causes a conservative inframe deletion change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
BCL11A (HGNC:13221): (BCL11 transcription factor A) This gene encodes a C2H2 type zinc-finger protein by its similarity to the mouse Bcl11a/Evi9 protein. The corresponding mouse gene is a common site of retroviral integration in myeloid leukemia, and may function as a leukemia disease gene, in part, through its interaction with BCL6. During hematopoietic cell differentiation, this gene is down-regulated. It is possibly involved in lymphoma pathogenesis since translocations associated with B-cell malignancies also deregulates its expression. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
