Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2BP7
The NM_001135608.3(ARHGAP26):c.1245delTinsGTGGGG(p.Val416fs) variant causes a frameshift, synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as not provided (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G415G) has been classified as Benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
ARHGAP26 (HGNC:17073): (Rho GTPase activating protein 26) Interaction of a cell with the extracellular matrix triggers integrin cell surface receptors to begin signaling cascades that regulate the organization of the actin-cytoskeleton. One of the proteins involved in these cascades is focal adhesion kinase. The protein encoded by this gene is a GTPase activating protein that binds to focal adhesion kinase and mediates the activity of the GTP binding proteins RhoA and Cdc42. Defects in this gene are a cause of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]
