Genes affected

HNMT (HGNC:5028): (histamine N-methyltransferase) In mammals, histamine is metabolized by two major pathways: N(tau)-methylation via histamine N-methyltransferase and oxidative deamination via diamine oxidase. This gene encodes the first enzyme which is found in the cytosol and uses S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor. In the mammalian brain, the neurotransmitter activity of histamine is controlled by N(tau)-methylation as diamine oxidase is not found in the central nervous system. A common genetic polymorphism affects the activity levels of this gene product in red blood cells. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The c.137+2287G>A variant in HNMT has not previously been reported in the literature or public variant repositories (ClinVar and LOVD). The c.137+2287G>A variantis observed in 494 alleles (~0.0015% minor allele frequency with 1 homozygote) in population databases (gnomAD v3.1.2 and TOPMed Freeze 8), with >1% minor allele frequency in two subpopulations. The c.137+2287G>A variant is located in intron 1 of this 5-exon gene, and is moderately predicted to affect mRNA splicing (splice AI=0.57 for acceptor gain, 0.27 for acceptor loss), which might result in exon skipping or full/partial intron retention and lead to loss-of-function via nonsense mediated decay; however, there are no functional studies to support or refute these predictions. Based on available evidence this inherited c.137+2287G>A variant identified in HNMT is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
