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]

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. No experimental studies have been performed to test the effects of this variant on SLX4 protein function or stability. However, it is expected to result in the disruption of the last 91 amino acids (Gln1744-Asn1834) of the SLX4 protein. This removes most of the SLX1 interaction domain, which has been shown to be critical for SLX1-SLX4 complexing, and therefore will affect their Holliday junction resolvase and 5'-flap endonuclease activities (PMID: 19596235, 19596236). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 24733792). This variant is present in population databases (rs781479923, ExAC 0.002%). This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the SLX4 gene (p.Gln1744Alafs*34). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 91 amino acids of the SLX4 protein. -
