Genes affected
SLX4 (HGNC:23845): (SLX4 structure-specific endonuclease subunit) This gene encodes a protein that functions as an assembly component of multiple structure-specific endonucleases. These endonuclease complexes are required for repair of specific types of DNA lesions and critical for cellular responses to replication fork failure. Mutations in this gene were found in patients with Fanconi anemia. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.802G>A (p.V268M) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 3) of the SLX4 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 802, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 268 to be replaced by a methionine (M). 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

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 268 of the SLX4 protein (p.Val268Met). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SLX4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 407937). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The methionine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. -
