Genes affected
SLC39A8 (HGNC:20862): (solute carrier family 39 member 8) This gene encodes a member of the SLC39 family of solute-carrier genes, which show structural characteristics of zinc transporters. The encoded protein is glycosylated and found in the plasma membrane and mitochondria, and functions in the cellular import of zinc at the onset of inflammation. It is also thought to be the primary transporter of the toxic cation cadmium, which is found in cigarette smoke. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Additional alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 38 of the SLC39A8 protein (p.Gly38Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs778210210, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with SLC39A8 deficiency syndrome (PMID: 2809732, 26637978, 26637979). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 218895). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SLC39A8 function (PMID: 29453449). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
