Genes affected
EIF2B5 (HGNC:3261): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit epsilon) This gene encodes one of five subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), a GTP exchange factor for eukaryotic initiation factor 2 and an essential regulator for protein synthesis. Mutations in this gene and the genes encoding other EIF2B subunits have been associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

Submissions by phenotype

Vanishing white matter disease Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionSep 01, 2022The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.002%). Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.90; 3Cnet: 0.99). The variant has been previously reported to be associated with EIF2B5-related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000598970 / PMID: 15136673). It has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least 2 similarly affected unrelated individuals, and to co-segregate with the disease in at least one similarly affected relative/individual in the same family or similarly affected unrelated family (PMID: 15136673). Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg315Gly, p.Arg315His) have been reported to be associated with EIF2B5-related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000005950 / PMID: 11704758). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 26, 2023Variant summary: EIF2B5 c.943C>T (p.Arg315Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251446 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.943C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Leukoencephalopathy With Vanishing White Matter (examples: Zhang_2015, Slynko_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25761052, 33432707). Three submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 17, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 315 of the EIF2B5 protein (p.Arg315Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs113994063, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (PMID: 15136673, 21307862, 25089094, 30755392). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 598970). 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 EIF2B5 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg315 amino acid residue in EIF2B5. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11704758, 17646634; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
