Genes affected
HESX1 (HGNC:4877): (HESX homeobox 1) This gene encodes a conserved homeobox protein that is a transcriptional repressor in the developing forebrain and pituitary gland. Mutations in this gene are associated with septooptic dysplasia, HESX1-related growth hormone deficiency, and combined pituitary hormone deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Septo-optic dysplasia sequence;C2750027:Growth hormone deficiency with pituitary anomalies Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 15, 2023This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 181 of the HESX1 protein (p.Thr181Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs28936704, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of HESX1-related conditions (PMID: 11136712, 32483926, 33098107). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7693). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The alanine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 11, 2022The c.541A>G (p.T181A) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the HESX1 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 541, causing the threonine (T) at amino acid position 181 to be replaced by an alanine (A). (Thomas, 2001) Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Septo-optic dysplasia sequence Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
