Genes affected
KMT2D (HGNC:7133): (lysine methyltransferase 2D) The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates the Lys-4 position of histone H3. The encoded protein is part of a large protein complex called ASCOM, which has been shown to be a transcriptional regulator of the beta-globin and estrogen receptor genes. Mutations in this gene have been shown to be a cause of Kabuki syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

The KMT2D p.G2279E variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs200578414) and ClinVar (classified as benign by EGL Genetic Diagnostics; and as likely benign by Athena Diagnostics Inc and Invitae for Kabuki syndrome). The variant was identified in control databases in 43 of 279806 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001537, and was observed at the highest frequency in the Euopean (non-Finnish) population in 40 of 127886 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003128) (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). This is greater than expected for the rare, autosomal dominant Kabuki syndrome associated with KMT2D variants. The p.G2279 residue is not highly conserved in mammals however computational analyses (MUT Assesor, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, MutationTaster, Revel, FATHMM, MetaLR, DANN) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (Splice AI exome) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign.
