Genes affected

EIF2AK3 (HGNC:3255): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3) The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2, leading to its inactivation, and thus to a rapid reduction of translational initiation and repression of global protein synthesis. This protein is thought to modulate mitochondrial function. It is a type I membrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it is induced by ER stress caused by malfolded proteins. Mutations in this gene are associated with Wolcott-Rallison syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-88585840-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-88585840-C-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 445635.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 9 of the EIF2AK3 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in EIF2AK3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11997520). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EIF2AK3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 445635). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
