Genes affected

EHMT1 (HGNC:24650): (euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates the lysine-9 position of histone H3. This action marks the genomic region packaged with these methylated histones for transcriptional repression. This protein may be involved in the silencing of MYC- and E2F-responsive genes and therefore could play a role in the G0/G1 cell cycle transition. Defects in this gene are a cause of chromosome 9q subtelomeric deletion syndrome (9q-syndrome, also known as Kleefstra syndrome). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.0112907365 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 9-137619031-GGCCGCCGCCGATGCCGAGGTGAGCAGCGGGGCCGGCGGGGGGCGGCGCGGGGGCGGCGGGCAGCGGCGGAGGCGGCGCGGGGGCGAAGAACCGGGCGGGGCGGCGGCAGGCGGCCGGCGGGCGGGCGGGGCCCCGGGTCCCCCCGCCGCCGCCGCCGCCGCT-G is Pathogenic according to our data.

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in EHMT1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16826528, 19264732). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with EHMT1-related disease. This variant is a deletion of the genomic region encompassing part of exon 1 (c.13_21+153del) of the EHMT1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
