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 Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points.

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=0.033599943).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000513 (75/1461812) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.000063 (70/1111932). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000507. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 35 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

BS2

High AC in GnomAd4 at 5 AD gene.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 179 of the MORC2 protein (p.Arg179His). This variant is present in population databases (rs541114863, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MORC2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 542285). 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 not expected to disrupt MORC2 protein function. -
