Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with STK11-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 3 of the STK11 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the STK11 protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. |
