Genes affected
FBXL4 (HGNC:13601): (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 4) This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family, which are characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. F-box proteins constitute one subunit of modular E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, called SCF complexes, which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box domain mediates protein-protein interactions and binds directly to S-phase kinase-associated protein 1. In addition to an F-box domain, the encoded protein contains at least 9 tandem leucine-rich repeats. The ubiquitin ligase complex containing the encoded protein may function in cell-cycle control by regulating levels of lysine-specific demethylase 4A. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

The NM_012160.4:c.79A>G (NP_036292.2:p.Thr27Ala) [GRCH38: NC_000006.12:g.98926910T>C] variant in FBXL4 gene is interpretated to be a Uncertain Significance - Conflicting Evidence based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant meets one or more of the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. PM2:This variant is absent in key population databases. BP4:Computational evidence/predictors indicate no impact on the FBXL4 structure, function, or protein-protein interaction. Based on this evidence code ClinGen Pathogenicity Calculator (PMID:28081714) suggested that the variant is Uncertain Significance - Conflicting Evidence.

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

The c.79A>G (p.T27A) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 1) of the FBXL4 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 79, causing the threonine (T) at amino acid position 27 to be replaced by an alanine (A). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
