Genes affected

MFSD2A (HGNC:25897): (MFSD2 lysolipid transporter A, lysophospholipid) The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane protein and sodium-dependent lysophosphatidylcholine transporter. The encoded protein is involved in the establishment of the blood-brain barrier and is required for brain growth and function. Defects in this gene are a cause of a progressive microcephaly syndrome.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.38).

Variants that disrupt 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. 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 has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MFSD2A-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs780487121, gnomAD 0.002%). This sequence change falls in intron 1 of the MFSD2A gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MFSD2A protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
