Genes affected

EBF3 (HGNC:19087): (EBF transcription factor 3) This gene encodes a member of the early B-cell factor (EBF) family of DNA binding transcription factors. EBF proteins are involved in B-cell differentiation, bone development and neurogenesis, and may also function as tumor suppressors. The encoded protein inhibits cell survival through the regulation of genes involved in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and aberrant methylation or deletion of this gene may play a role in multiple malignancies including glioblastoma multiforme and gastric carcinoma.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.0994709 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 2, offset of 10, new splice context is: gatttcaacgtcggctacAGtcg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.

The c.1346-2delA intronic variant results from the deletion of an A, two nucleotides before coding exon 14 of the EBF3 gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to result in aberrant splicing. The resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; however, direct evidence is unavailable. The exact functional effect of the altered amino acid sequence is unknown. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
