Genes affected

EPOR (HGNC:3416): (erythropoietin receptor) This gene encodes the erythropoietin receptor which is a member of the cytokine receptor family. Upon erythropoietin binding, this receptor activates Jak2 tyrosine kinase which activates different intracellular pathways including: Ras/MAP kinase, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and STAT transcription factors. The stimulated erythropoietin receptor appears to have a role in erythroid cell survival. Defects in the erythropoietin receptor may produce erythroleukemia and familial erythrocytosis. Dysregulation of this gene may affect the growth of certain tumors. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

EPOR Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• primary familial polycythemia due to EPO receptor mutation

  Inheritance: AD Classification: STRONG, SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet, Genomics England PanelApp, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -8 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.6).
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 7 AD gene.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
