not provided Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 218 of the HOXB13 protein (p.Lys218Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs775613793, gnomAD 0.01%). 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: 483497). 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%. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
The p.K218R variant (also known as c.653A>G), located in coding exon 2 of the HOXB13 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 653. The lysine at codon 218 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In one study, that used in silico tools, this variant was predicted to be highly deleterious and damaging to the HOXB13 homeobox protein structure (Chandrasekaran G et al. Chem Biol Drug Des. 2017 Jan;[Epub ahead of print]). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
