Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PVS1_ModeratePM2
The NM_001142699.3(DLG2):c.2194-3_2194-2delCA variant causes a splice acceptor, splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000031 in 1,611,514 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
DLG2 (HGNC:2901): (discs large MAGUK scaffold protein 2) This gene encodes a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family. The encoded protein forms a heterodimer with a related family member that may interact at postsynaptic sites to form a multimeric scaffold for the clustering of receptors, ion channels, and associated signaling proteins. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Additional transcript variants have been described, but their full-length nature is not known.

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.
PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.034153007 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 8.9, offset of 0 (no position change), new splice context is: ccatgccttttctccttcAGtca. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The DLG2 c.2194-3_2194-2delCA variant is predicted to result in a deletion affecting a canonical splice site. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Effect of this variant on mRNA splicing is unclear, however based on available splicing prediction programs (Alamut Visual v2.11) the change of splice site is not predicted. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
