Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.

The NM_002397.5(MEF2C):​c.*114_*115dupAA variant causes a 3 prime UTR change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000122 in 589,204 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There is a variant allele frequency bias in the population database for this variant (GnomAdExome4), which may indicate mosaicism or somatic mutations in the reference population data. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.

Genes affected

MEF2C (HGNC:6996): (myocyte enhancer factor 2C) This locus encodes a member of the MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) family of proteins, which play a role in myogenesis. The encoded protein, MEF2 polypeptide C, has both trans-activating and DNA binding activities. This protein may play a role in maintaining the differentiated state of muscle cells. Mutations and deletions at this locus have been associated with severe cognitive disability, stereotypic movements, epilepsy, and cerebral malformation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

MEF2C-AS2 (HGNC:53115): (MEF2C antisense RNA 2)
