The c.1436A>G (p.N479S) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the KRT12 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1436, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 479 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
