Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_015271.5(TRIM2):c.121C>T(p.Arg41Cys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000028 in 1,461,750 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R41H) has been classified as Likely benign.
TRIM2 (HGNC:15974): (tripartite motif containing 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains, a RING, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2, and a coiled-coil region. The protein localizes to cytoplasmic filaments. It plays a neuroprotective role and functions as an E3-ubiquitin ligase in proteasome-mediated degradation of target proteins. Mutations in this gene can cause early-onset axonal neuropathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

This variant is present in population databases (rs763080800, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 14 of the TRIM2 protein (p.Arg14Cys). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TRIM2-related conditions. 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. An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant  is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 935743). -
