Description
The alteration results in an amino acid change: The c.711C>A (p.D237E) alteration is located in coding exon 2 of the EGR2 gene. This alteration results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 711, causing the aspartic acid (D) at amino acid position 237 to be replaced by a glutamic acid (E). The alteration has been observed in population databases: Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the c.711C>A alteration was observed in 0.0018% (5/282,872) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.0039% (5/129,186) in the European, non-Finnish subpopulation. The altered amino acid is conserved throughout evolution: The p.D237 amino acid is conserved in available vertebrate species, except in zebra finch, Atlantic cod, and lamprey. The alteration is predicted benign by in silico models: The p.D237E alteration is predicted to be benign by Polyphen and tolerated by SIFT in silico analyses. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
