Genes affected

HOXB13 (HGNC:5112): (homeobox B13) This gene encodes a transcription factor that belongs to the homeobox gene family. Genes of this family are highly conserved among vertebrates and essential for vertebrate embryonic development. This gene has been implicated to play a role in fetal skin development and cutaneous regeneration. In mice, a similar gene was shown to exhibit temporal and spatial colinearity in the main body axis of the embryo, but was not expressed in the secondary axes, which suggests functions in body patterning along the axis. This gene and other HOXB genes form a gene cluster at chromosome the 17q21-22 region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 09, 2023	In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28072499, 19389631, 8756292) -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 29, 2023	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 217 of the HOXB13 protein (p.Arg217Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs749518336, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HOXB13-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 483510). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt HOXB13 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -

The p.R217L variant (also known as c.650G>T), located in coding exon 2 of the HOXB13 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 650. The arginine at codon 217 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
