Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PP3_ModerateBS2
The NM_016252.4(BIRC6):c.952C>G(p.Pro318Ala) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000551 in 1,450,978 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
BIRC6 (HGNC:13516): (baculoviral IAP repeat containing 6) This gene encodes a protein with a BIR (baculoviral inhibition of apoptosis protein repeat) domain and a UBCc (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2, catalytic) domain. This protein inhibits apoptosis by facilitating the degradation of apoptotic proteins by ubiquitination. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.952C>G (p.P318A) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 6) of the BIRC6 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 952, causing the proline (P) at amino acid position 318 to be replaced by an alanine (A). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
