Genes affected

FAM9A (HGNC:18403): (family with sequence similarity 9 member A) This gene is a member of a gene family which arose through duplication on the X chromosome. The encoded protein may be a nuclear protein that is localized to the nucleolus, and has some similarity to a synaptonemal complex protein. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

The c.743A>G (p.E248G) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 6) of the FAM9A gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 743, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 248 to be replaced by a glycine (G). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
