Genes affected
EMP2 (HGNC:3334): (epithelial membrane protein 2) This gene encodes a tetraspan protein of the PMP22/EMP family. The encoded protein regulates cell membrane composition. It has been associated with various functions including endocytosis, cell signaling, cell proliferation, cell migration, cell adhesion, cell death, cholesterol homeostasis, urinary albumin excretion, and embryo implantation. It is known to negatively regulate caveolin-1, a scaffolding protein which is the main component of the caveolae plasma membrane invaginations found in most cell types. Through activation of PTK2 it positively regulates vascular endothelial growth factor A. It also modulates the function of specific integrin isomers in the plasma membrane. Up-regulation of this gene has been linked to cancer progression in multiple different tissues. Mutations in this gene have been associated with nephrotic syndrome type 10 (NPHS10).

Nephrotic syndrome, type 10 Pathogenic:1
Dec 05, 2023
Clinical Genomics Laboratory, Washington University in St. Louis
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The EMP2 c.78+1G>C variant, to our knowledge, has not been reported in the medical literature. It occurs within the canonical splice donor site, which is predicted to affect splicing. The highest population minor allele frequency in the population database genome aggregation database (gnomAD v4.0.0) is 0.003% in the European (non-Finnish) population which is consistent with the carrier frequency of nephrotic syndrome, type 10. Based on available information, and based on ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -
