Genes affected
MAGEL2 (HGNC:6814): (MAGE family member L2) Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is caused by the loss of expression of imprinted genes in chromosome 15q11-q13 region. Affected individuals exhibit neonatal hypotonia, developmental delay, and childhood-onset obesity. Necdin (NDN), a gene involved in the terminal differentiation of neurons, localizes to this region of the genome and has been implicated as one of the genes responsible for the etiology of PWS. This gene is structurally similar to NDN, is also localized to the PWS chromosomal region, and is paternally imprinted, suggesting a possible role for it in PWS. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteSep 20, 2024Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with Schaaf-Yang syndrome (MIM#615547). Multiple premature termination codon variants have previously been reported in this gene (ClinVar, DECIPHER) . (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0113 - This gene is known to be maternally imprinted (OMIM). (I) 0204 - Variant is predicted to result in a truncated protein (premature termination codon is NOT located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction) with at least 1/3 of the protein sequence affected. (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.001 for a dominant condition (4 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - An alternative truncating variant at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v2) Gln666Serfs*36 (3 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0602 - Variant is located in a hotspot region or cluster of pathogenic variants (PMID 27195816). (SP) 0701 - Other PTC variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (DECIPHER, ClinVar). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as pathogenic in clinical cases (ClinVar; PMID 27195816, PMID 32021601, PMID 33371171). (SP) 1203 - This variant has been shown to be de novo in the proband (parental status, confirmed by trio analysis).

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterresearchBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardMay 29, 2020The heterozygous p.Gln666ProfsTer47 variant in MAGEL2 was identified by our study in 1 individual with Schaaf-Yang syndrome (Prader-Willi-like syndrome). Trio genome analysis showed this variant to be de novo. The variant has been reported in 7 individuals with Schaaf-Yang syndrome (including the one from our study), segregated with disease in 3 affected relatives from 2 families (PMID: 25473036, 27195816, 31397880). Data from large population studies is insufficient to assess the frequency of this variant. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 190122) as pathogenic by multiple labs. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 666 and leads to a premature termination codon 47 amino acids downstream. This gene is a single exon gene and is more likely to escape nonsense mediated decay (NMD) and result in a truncated protein. While there is some evidence to suggest that heterozygous loss of function of the MAGEL2 gene is a disease mechanism in Schaaf-Yang syndrome, this association is not yet strongly established based on the criteria laid out in Tayoun, 2018 (PMID: 30192042). Multiple variants in the same region as p.Gln666ProfsTer47 have been reported in association with disease in the literature, suggesting that this variant is in a hot spot and supports pathogenicity (PMID: 31397880). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Schaaf-Yang syndrome in an autosomal dominant manner based on the presence of multiple probands with disease including a de novo case and the predicted loss of function effect of this variant.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionOct 02, 2021Frameshift: predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported in the predicted truncated region (PVS1_S). The variant has been observed in at least four similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 30302899, 25473036, 27195816, 27632685). The variant was observed as assumed (i.e. paternity and maternity not confirmed) de novoo (3billion dataset, PM6). It is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (PM2). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 23, 2022This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln666Profs*47) in the MAGEL2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 584 amino acid(s) of the MAGEL2 protein. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 190122). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Schaaf-Yang syndrome (PMID: 25473036, 27195816, 27632685). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. 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. -
