Genes affected
ARHGEF15 (HGNC:15590): (Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 15) Rho GTPases play a fundamental role in numerous cellular processes that are initiated by extracellular stimuli that work through G protein-coupled receptors. This gene encodes a protein that functions as a specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor for RhoA. It also interacts with ephrin A4 in vascular smooth muscle cells. Two alternatively spliced transcripts variants that encode the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

Submissions by phenotype

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 26, 2021The c.491G>A (p.R164Q) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the ARHGEF15 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 491, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 164 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 30, 2016This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a ARHGEF15-related disease. This sequence change replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 164 of the ARHGEF15 protein (p.Arg164Gln). The arginine residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine. In summary, this variant is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function. There is no indication that it causes disease, but the available evidence is currently insufficient to prove that conclusively. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. -
