Genes affected

HOXB6 (HGNC:5117): (homeobox B6) This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox B genes located on chromosome 17. The encoded protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in development, including that of lung and skin, and has been localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Altered expression of this gene or a change in the subcellular localization of its protein is associated with some cases of acute myeloid leukemia and colorectal cancer.

HOXB-AS3 (HGNC:40283): (HOXB cluster antisense RNA 3)

HOXB3 (HGNC:5114): (homeobox B3) This gene is a member of the Antp homeobox family and encodes a nuclear protein with a homeobox DNA-binding domain. It is included in a cluster of homeobox B genes located on chromosome 17. The encoded protein functions as a sequence-specific transcription factor that is involved in development. Increased expression of this gene is associated with a distinct biologic subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a modified_residue Phosphoserine (size 0) in uniprot entity HXB6_HUMAN
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.27759975).

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.642T>G (p.S214R) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 2) of the HOXB6 gene. This alteration results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 642, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 214 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
