Genes affected

LETM2 (HGNC:14648): (leucine zipper and EF-hand containing transmembrane protein 2) Predicted to enable ribosome binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular metal ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

FGFR1 (HGNC:3688): (fibroblast growth factor receptor 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family, where amino acid sequence is highly conserved between members and throughout evolution. FGFR family members differ from one another in their ligand affinities and tissue distribution. A full-length representative protein consists of an extracellular region, composed of three immunoglobulin-like domains, a single hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. The extracellular portion of the protein interacts with fibroblast growth factors, setting in motion a cascade of downstream signals, ultimately influencing mitogenesis and differentiation. This particular family member binds both acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors and is involved in limb induction. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Pfeiffer syndrome, Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Antley-Bixler syndrome, osteoglophonic dysplasia, and autosomal dominant Kallmann syndrome 2. Chromosomal aberrations involving this gene are associated with stem cell myeloproliferative disorder and stem cell leukemia lymphoma syndrome. Alternatively spliced variants which encode different protein isoforms have been described; however, not all variants have been fully characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The c.908G>A (p.R303Q) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 5) of the LETM2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 908, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 303 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
