Genes affected

UBQLN2 (HGNC:12509): (ubiquilin 2) This gene encodes an ubiquitin-like protein (ubiquilin) that shares high degree of similarity with related products in yeast, rat and frog. Ubiquilins contain a N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain and a C-terminal ubiquitin-associated domain. They physically associate with both proteasomes and ubiquitin ligases; and thus, are thought to functionally link the ubiquitination machinery to the proteasome to affect in vivo protein degradation. This ubiquilin has also been shown to bind the ATPase domain of the Hsp70-like Stch protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.5).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=1.36 with no splicing effect.

This sequence change affects codon 60 of the UBQLN2 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the UBQLN2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with UBQLN2-related conditions. 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. -
