Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PM1PM2PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong
The NM_004456.5(EZH2):c.2050C>T(p.Arg684Cys) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R684L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. The variant is located in a mutational hot spot and/or well-established functional domain in which established pathogenic variants have been reported. 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). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000158582). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Arg684His) has been reported to be associated with EZH2 related disorder (PMID: 24214728). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 684 of the EZH2 protein (p.Arg684Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Weaver syndrome (PMID: 22190405, 26694085, 29802153). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 158582). 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 expected to disrupt EZH2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

EZH2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The EZH2 c.2050C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg684Cys. This variant was reported to be causative for Weaver syndrome and has been observed to have arisen de novo in multiple cases (Tatton-Brown et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 22190405; Cohen et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26694085; Table S1, Zhu et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33240318). Functional studies showed that this variant impairs the histone methyltransferase activity (Cohen et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26694085). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect indicating that R684C impairs histone methyltransferase activity in vitro (Cohen et al., 2016); Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26694085, 23568486, 22190405, 24214728, 29276005, 29802153, 33144682, 33240318, 31785789) -
