Genes affected

ALB (HGNC:399): (albumin) This gene encodes the most abundant protein in human blood. This protein functions in the regulation of blood plasma colloid osmotic pressure and acts as a carrier protein for a wide range of endogenous molecules including hormones, fatty acids, and metabolites, as well as exogenous drugs. Additionally, this protein exhibits an esterase-like activity with broad substrate specificity. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein. A peptide derived from this protein, EPI-X4, is an endogenous inhibitor of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn291Lysfs*8) in the ALB gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ALB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12028999). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with analbuminemia (PMID: 8134387). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 18224). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
