Invitae | RCV001324952 | SCV001515923 | uncertain significance | TP63-Related Spectrum Disorders | 2017-07-06 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | A number of truncations downstream of this variant have been reported in individuals affected with TP63-related disorders (PMID: 12037717, 11462173, 17609671, 19239083). Experimental studies have shown that there is an inhibitory domain at the end of the protein that represses TP63 transcriptional activity, and that deletion of this region results in aberrantly increased transcription (PMID: 12446779, 15539951, 21652629). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TP63-related disease.  ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38968). 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. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the TP63 gene (p.Leu616Serfs*88). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 65 amino acids of the TP63 protein. |
