EIF2B2 p.Glu213Gly

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PS3PM2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_014239.4(EIF2B2):​c.638A>G​(p.Glu213Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000657 in 1,613,598 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000915652: Li et al. (2004) demonstrated in transfected HEK 293 cells that the p.Glu213Gly variant does not affect assembly of the EIF2B translation initiation factor complex but it does decrease EIF2B2 enzyme activity to 40-60% of wild type. In vivo assays also showed that the p.Glu213Gly variant enhanced eIF2 binding (Li et al. 2004)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E213E) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
EIF2B2 (HGNC:3258): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit beta) This gene encodes the beta subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor-2B (EIF2B). EIF2B is involved in protein synthesis and exchanges GDP and GTP for its activation and deactivation. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000915652: Li et al. (2004) demonstrated in transfected HEK 293 cells that the p.Glu213Gly variant does not affect assembly of the EIF2B translation initiation factor complex but it does decrease EIF2B2 enzyme activity to 40-60% of wild type. In vivo assays also showed that the p.Glu213Gly variant enhanced eIF2 binding (Li et al. 2004).; SCV001432116: Several publications report experimental evidence that homozygous cell lines with the variant demonstrate reduced EIF2B2 guanine nucleotide exchange factor activity (examples- Li_2004, Fogli_2004).; SCV002104323: In vitro studies have shown that in the homozygous state E213G enzyme activity was reduced by approximately 50%, and when reported with a second EIF2B2 variant (phase unknown) reduced translation was observed (Liu et al., 2011; Moon et al., 2018); SCV003287781: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects EIF2B2 function (PMID: 15060152).; SCV003919914: "In addition, functional studies support that this variant will impact the protein (Li 2004 PMID:15060152, Liu 2011 PMID:21560189)."
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.95
