Genes affected

MEF2A (HGNC:6993): (myocyte enhancer factor 2A) The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA-binding transcription factor that activates many muscle-specific, growth factor-induced, and stress-induced genes. The encoded protein can act as a homodimer or as a heterodimer and is involved in several cellular processes, including muscle development, neuronal differentiation, cell growth control, and apoptosis. Defects in this gene could be a cause of autosomal dominant coronary artery disease 1 with myocardial infarction (ADCAD1). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.16953063).

BS2

High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 6 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

The c.518C>T (p.T173M) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 4) of the MEF2A gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 518, causing the threonine (T) at amino acid position 173 to be replaced by a methionine (M). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
