Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001348768.2(HECW2):​c.4511C>A​(p.Ser1504Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S1504A) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

HECW2 (HGNC:29853): (HECT, C2 and WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2) This gene encodes a member of a family of E3 ubiquitin ligases which plays an important role in the proliferation, migration and differentiation of neural crest cells as a regulator of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)/Ret signaling. This gene also plays an important role in angiogenesis through stabilization of endothelial cell-to-cell junctions as a regulator of angiomotin-like 1 stability. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal calcium/lipid-binding (C2) domain involved in membrane targeting, two-four WW domains responsible for cellular localization and substrate recognition, and a C-terminal homologous with E6-associated protein C-terminus (HECT) catalytic domain. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with neurodevelopmental delay, hypotonia, and epilepsy. The decreased expression of this gene in the aganglionic colon is associated with Hirschsprung's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 17 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-196215962-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1806140.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), HECW2. . Gene score misZ 3.3052 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 3.6429 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia, seizures, and absent language, complex neurodevelopmental disorder.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.969
• PP5: Variant 2-196215961-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-196215961-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 848063.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr2-196215961-G-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

This sequence change replaces serine with tyrosine at codon 1504 of the HECW2 protein (p.Ser1504Tyr). The serine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between serine and tyrosine. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with HECW2-related disease (Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -
