Genes affected

EZH2 (HGNC:3527): (enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit) This gene encodes a member of the Polycomb-group (PcG) family. PcG family members form multimeric protein complexes, which are involved in maintaining the transcriptional repressive state of genes over successive cell generations. This protein associates with the embryonic ectoderm development protein, the VAV1 oncoprotein, and the X-linked nuclear protein. This protein may play a role in the hematopoietic and central nervous systems. Multiple alternatively splcied transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 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. There are 14 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the EZH2 gene. The Q735X nonsense variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The Q735X variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation as the last 17 amino acids of the EZH2 protein are lost. Truncating variants in nearby residues (Y733X, c.2204_2211dupAGGCTGAT) have been reported previously as de novo variants in individuals with Weaver syndrome (Tatton-Brown et al., 2011). Based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
