Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM2PP3_Strong

The NM_001034116.2(EIF2B4):c.1505C>T(p.Thr502Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000458 in 1,461,886 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T502T) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

EIF2B4 (HGNC:3260): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit delta) Eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), which is necessary for protein synthesis, is a GTP exchange factor composed of five different subunits. The protein encoded by this gene is the fourth, or delta, subunit. Defects in this gene are a cause of leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) and ovarioleukodystrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The EIF2B4 c.1502C>T (p.Thr501Met) variant is a missense variant that has been reported in single study and is found in one individual with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter in a compound heterozygous state with a missense variant (Zhang et al. 2015). The p.Thr501Met variant is inherited from the unaffected father. The p.Thr501Met variant is absent from 100 controls and is found at a frequency of 0.000027 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the limited evidence, the p.Thr501Met variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for childhood ataxia with central nervous system hypomyelination/vanishing white matter. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
