Genes affected
NEK2 (HGNC:7745): (NIMA related kinase 2) This gene encodes a serine/threonine-protein kinase that is involved in mitotic regulation. This protein is localized to the centrosome, and undetectable during G1 phase, but accumulates progressively throughout the S phase, reaching maximal levels in late G2 phase. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms with distinct C-termini have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

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

The c.1320G>C (p.Q440H) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the NEK2 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1320, causing the glutamine (Q) at amino acid position 440 to be replaced by a histidine (H). 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

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 440 of the NEK2 protein (p.Gln440His). This variant is present in population databases (rs141984487, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NEK2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1436576). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
