Genes affected

MORC2 (HGNC:23573): (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2) This gene encodes a member of the Microrchidia (MORC) protein superfamily. The encoded protein is known to regulate the condensation of heterochromatin in response to DNA damage and play a role in repressing transcription. The protein has been found to regulate the activity of ATP citrate lyase via specific interaction with this enzyme in the cytosol of lipogenic breast cancer cells. The protein also plays a role in lipogenesis and adipocyte differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PP2

Missense variant in the MORC2 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 25 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 13 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.2251 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.4393 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Leigh syndrome, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2Z, developmental delay, impaired growth, dysmorphic facies, and axonal neuropathy.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.35761207).
