Genes affected
GDF6 (HGNC:4221): (growth differentiation factor 6) This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein is required for normal formation of some bones and joints in the limbs, skull, and axial skeleton. Mutations in this gene are associated with Klippel-Feil syndrome, microphthalmia, and Leber congenital amaurosis. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

While this variant is present in population databases (rs121909355), the frequency information is unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This sequence change replaces glutamine with leucine at codon 253 of the GDF6 protein (p.Gln253Leu). The glutamine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glutamine and leucine. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with microphthalmia (PMID: 19129173). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8375). 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. 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. -
