Genes affected
ZIC2 (HGNC:12873): (Zic family member 2) This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. This protein functions as a transcriptional repressor and may regulate tissue specific expression of dopamine receptor D1. Expansion of an alanine repeat in the C-terminus of the encoded protein and other mutations in this gene cause holoprosencephaly type 5. Holoprosencephaly is the most common structural anomaly of the human brain. A polyhistidine tract polymorphism in this gene may be associated with increased risk of neural tube defects. This gene is closely linked to a gene encoding zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 5, a related family member on chromosome 13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

Holoprosencephaly 5 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeApr 01, 2023ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1343256). This variant has been observed in individuals with holoprosencephaly (PMID: 19177455, 21940735). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant, c.1377_1406del, results in the deletion of 10 amino acid(s) of the ZIC2 protein (p.Ala461_Ala470del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant disrupts a region of the ZIC2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Ala461_465del) have been observed in individuals with ZIC2-related conditions (PMID: 19955556). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
