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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 03, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects ZIC2 function (PMID: 15590697). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 468365). This variant has been observed in individuals with holoprosencephaly (PMID: 9771712, 11285244, 19955556). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant, c.1377_1406dup, results in the insertion of 10 amino acid(s) of the ZIC2 protein (p.Ala461_Ala470dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. -
