Genes affected

ZIC2 (HGNC:12873): (Zic family member 2) This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. This protein functions as a transcriptional repressor and may regulate tissue specific expression of dopamine receptor D1. Expansion of an alanine repeat in the C-terminus of the encoded protein and other mutations in this gene cause holoprosencephaly type 5. Holoprosencephaly is the most common structural anomaly of the human brain. A polyhistidine tract polymorphism in this gene may be associated with increased risk of neural tube defects. This gene is closely linked to a gene encoding zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 5, a related family member on chromosome 13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

The c.85_86insGGGGGG (p.A28_A29insGG) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the ZIC2 gene. The alteration consists of an in-frame insertion of 6 nucleotides between nucleotide positions c.85 and c.86, resulting in the insertion of <NA> residues. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
