Genes affected
UBQLN2 (HGNC:12509): (ubiquilin 2) This gene encodes an ubiquitin-like protein (ubiquilin) that shares high degree of similarity with related products in yeast, rat and frog. Ubiquilins contain a N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain and a C-terminal ubiquitin-associated domain. They physically associate with both proteasomes and ubiquitin ligases; and thus, are thought to functionally link the ubiquitination machinery to the proteasome to affect in vivo protein degradation. This ubiquilin has also been shown to bind the ATPase domain of the Hsp70-like Stch protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 492 of the UBQLN2 protein (p.Val492Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs756653207, gnomAD 0.003%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with UBQLN2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 448848). 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 tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

UBQLN2-related disorder Uncertain:1
Jun 13, 2024
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The UBQLN2 c.1474G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val492Leu. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0027% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD, including 1 hemizygote. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
