Genes affected

RORB (HGNC:10259): (RAR related orphan receptor B) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the NR1 subfamily of nuclear hormone receptors. It is a DNA-binding protein that can bind as a monomer or as a homodimer to hormone response elements upstream of several genes to enhance the expression of those genes. The encoded protein has been shown to interact with NM23-2, a nucleoside diphosphate kinase involved in organogenesis and differentiation, and to help regulate the expression of some genes involved in circadian rhythm.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.3G>A (p.M1?) alteration is located in coding exon 1 of the RORB gene and consists of a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1. This alters the methionine residue at the initiation codon (ATG). Sequence variations that modify the initiation codon are expected to result in either loss of translation initiation, N-terminal truncation, or cause a shift in the mRNA reading frame. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
