Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PP2
The NM_001303052.2(MYT1L):c.3287T>C(p.Met1096Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
MYT1L (HGNC:7623): (myelin transcription factor 1 like) This gene encodes a member of the zinc finger superfamily of transcription factors whose expression, thus far, has been found only in neuronal tissues. The encoded protein belongs to a novel class of cystein-cystein-histidine-cystein zinc finger proteins that function in the developing mammalian central nervous system. Forced expression of this gene in combination with the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor NeuroD1 and the transcription factors POU class 3 homeobox 2 and achaete-scute family basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor 1 can convert fetal and postnatal human fibroblasts into induced neuronal cells, which are able to generate action potentials. Mutations in this gene have been associated with an autosomal dominant form of cognitive disability and with autism spectrum disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple variants.

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the MYT1L gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 23 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 25 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.7706 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 5.5162 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to intellectual disability, autosomal dominant 39, syndromic intellectual disability.

The c.3281T>C (p.M1094T) alteration is located in exon 24 (coding exon 19) of the MYT1L gene. This alteration results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 3281, causing the methionine (M) at amino acid position 1094 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
