Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2 BP4

The NM_006361.6(HOXB13):c.545T>C(p.Met182Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000889 in 1,461,842 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M182I) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.4159362).

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Nov 11, 2023	This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 182 of the HOXB13 protein (p.Met182Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs772349818, gnomAD 0.0009%). 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: 483504). 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 not expected to disrupt HOXB13 protein function with a negative 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.M182T variant (also known as c.545T>C), located in coding exon 1 of the HOXB13 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 545. The methionine at codon 182 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. One study found that this alteration was predicted to be deleterious by multiple in silico prediction models (Chandrasekaran G et al. Sci Rep, 2017 Mar;7:43830). 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. -
