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]

Submissions by phenotype

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2Z Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 01, 2022ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 475604). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MORC2-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs753651729, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 343 of the MORC2 protein (p.Arg343His). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MORC2 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
