Genes affected
ELP1 (HGNC:5959): (elongator acetyltransferase complex subunit 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a scaffold protein and a regulator for three different kinases involved in proinflammatory signaling. The encoded protein can bind NF-kappa-B-inducing kinase and I-kappa-B kinases through separate domains and assemble them into an active kinase complex. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial dysautonomia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

The c.23G>T (p.R8L) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the IKBKAP gene. This alteration results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 23, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 8 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces arginine with leucine at codon 8 of the ELP1 protein (p.Arg8Leu). The arginine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and leucine. This variant is present in population databases (rs370041985, ExAC 0.001%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ELP1-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -
