Genetic Variant ESCO2:p.Asp12Val (chr8-27775549-A-T) – ACMG Classification: Likely_benign (-2 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2BP4_Strong

The NM_001017420.3(ESCO2):c.35A>T(p.Asp12Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,822 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D12Y) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

ESCO2 (HGNC:27230): (establishment of sister chromatid cohesion N-acetyltransferase 2) This gene encodes a protein that may have acetyltransferase activity and may be required for the establishment of sister chromatid cohesion during the S phase of mitosis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Roberts syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
