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

Available data are insufficient to determine the clinical significance of the variant at this time. The frequency of this variant in the general population is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) Computational tools yielded predictions that this variant is unlikely to have an effect on normal RNA splicing.

This variant, c.909_911dup, 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 (rs746688326, gnomAD 0.01%). 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: 419028). 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.
