Genes affected
BLK (HGNC:1057): (BLK proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase) This gene encodes a nonreceptor tyrosine-kinase of the src family of proto-oncogenes that are typically involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. The protein has a role in B-cell receptor signaling and B-cell development. The protein also stimulates insulin synthesis and secretion in response to glucose and enhances the expression of several pancreatic beta-cell transcription factors. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 238 of the BLK protein (p.Arg238Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs575123730, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BLK-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 549526). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests 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. -
