Genes affected
SLC39A8 (HGNC:20862): (solute carrier family 39 member 8) This gene encodes a member of the SLC39 family of solute-carrier genes, which show structural characteristics of zinc transporters. The encoded protein is glycosylated and found in the plasma membrane and mitochondria, and functions in the cellular import of zinc at the onset of inflammation. It is also thought to be the primary transporter of the toxic cation cadmium, which is found in cigarette smoke. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Additional alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 19, 2022This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 204 of the SLC39A8 protein (p.Gly204Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs779241085, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SLC39A8-congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMID: 26637979). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 218897). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SLC39A8 function (PMID: 34768831). 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 28, 2023Variant summary: SLC39A8 c.610G>T (p.Gly204Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence, altering a highly conserved residue. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.4e-05 in 249194 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.610G>T has been reported in the literature in a compound heterozygous individual who was affected with manganese transport- and glycosylation defects, where manganese supplementation resulted in clinical improvement (Park_2015, Park_2018). These data do not allow clear conclusions about variant significance. A recent study reported that the variant in isolation resulted in reduced selenium transport (Liang_2021), similarly to other tested SLC39A8 variants (including the missense reported in trans Park_2015). Seven submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified it as uncertain significance (n=4) or pathogenic/likely pathogenic (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
