Genes affected
SLX4 (HGNC:23845): (SLX4 structure-specific endonuclease subunit) This gene encodes a protein that functions as an assembly component of multiple structure-specific endonucleases. These endonuclease complexes are required for repair of specific types of DNA lesions and critical for cellular responses to replication fork failure. Mutations in this gene were found in patients with Fanconi anemia. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the SLX4 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.3676C>T, in exon 12 that results in an amino acid change, p.Arg1226Trp. This sequence change has been previously described in familial breast cancer cases (PMID: 23840564). This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.4% in the African/African American subpopulation (dbSNP rs142008398). The p.Arg1226Trp change affects a poorly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the SLX4 protein that is not known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Arg1226Trp substitution. Due to insufficient evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Arg1226Trp change remains unknown at this time. -
