Genes affected

SPOP (HGNC:11254): (speckle type BTB/POZ protein) This gene encodes a protein that may modulate the transcriptional repression activities of death-associated protein 6 (DAXX), which interacts with histone deacetylase, core histones, and other histone-associated proteins. In mouse, the encoded protein binds to the putative leucine zipper domain of macroH2A1.2, a variant H2A histone that is enriched on inactivated X chromosomes. The BTB/POZ domain of this protein has been shown in other proteins to mediate transcriptional repression and to interact with components of histone deacetylase co-repressor complexes. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The SPOP c.1100del (p.Pro367Hisfs*5) variant, to our knowledge, has not been reported in the medical literature and is absent from the general population (gnomAD v.2.1.1), indicating it is not a common variant. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, leading to a premature termination codon; however, because this occurs in the last exon and is only predicted to delete eight amino acids, this is not predicted to lead to nonsense mediated decay. One publication indicates a nuclear localization signal may be located in the amino acids that would be deleted due to this variation (Shi Q et al., PMID: 31771591), but another publication indicates the nuclear localization signal is in another region (Nagai Y et al., PMID: 9414087). Due to limited information, and based on ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -
