Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PVS1_Moderate PM2

The NM_002397.5(MEF2C):c.1382C>A(p.Ser461Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S461S) has been classified as Likely benign.

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)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0281 CDS is truncated, and there are 2 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MEF2C-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the MEF2C gene (p.Ser461*). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 13 amino acids of the MEF2C protein. -
