Germline variants in the Sterile alpha motif domain-containing 9-like (SAMD9L) gene are specifically associated with an increased risk for these malignancies. In this study, we functionally modelled two novel SAMD9L variants-p.N697Y and p.K1294*-alongside two previously reported variants (p.T233N and p.H880Q). We generated heterozygous knock-in cellular models in the Human leukemia (HL-60 myeloid cell line) for each variant using homology-directed repair-based Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) gene editing. Functional assays, focused on proliferation and protein translation, confirmed that the p.T233N, p.N697Y and p.K1294* variants all caused a decreased rate of protein translation.
