Genes affected
EGR2 (HGNC:3239): (early growth response 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor with three tandem C2H2-type zinc fingers. Defects in this gene are associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1D (CMT1D), Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4E (CMT4E), and with Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS). Multiple transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the EGR2 gene. The c.925_927dupGCC variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The c.925_927dupGCC variant results in an in-frame duplication of a single Alanine residue, denoted p.Ala309dup. However, this duplication occurs at a position that is not conserved, and this duplication is located in a region of the protein where the number of Alanine residues varies within the normal population (NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The EGR2 c.925_927dup; p.Ala309dup variant (rs753747037) is reported in the literature in an individual with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (Volodarsky 2021). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 418176). It is observed in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.02% (47/274998 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). This variant inserts a single alanine residue leaving the rest of the protein in-frame. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Volodarsky M et al. Comprehensive genetic sequence and copy number analysis for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in a Canadian cohort of 2517 patients. J Med Genet. 2021 Apr;58(4):284-288.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant, c.925_927dup, results in the insertion of 1 amino acid(s) of the EGR2 protein (p.Ala309dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs753747037, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 32376792). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 418176). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
