Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BS2_Supporting
The NM_001319206.4(MEF2A):c.562A>C(p.Asn188His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000753 in 1,461,700 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
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]
Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 11 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.568A>C (p.N190H) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 4) of the MEF2A gene. This alteration results from a A to C substitution at nucleotide position 568, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 190 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
