Genes affected

EIF2B1 (HGNC:3257): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit alpha) This gene encodes one of five subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), a GTP exchange factor for eukaryotic initiation factor 2 and an essential regulator for protein synthesis. Mutations in this gene and the genes encoding other EIF2B subunits have been associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Variant summary: EIF2B1 c.252+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6e-05 in 251368 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in EIF2B1 causing Leukoencephalopathy With Vanishing White Matter (6e-05 vs 0.00016), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.252+1G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Leukoencephalopathy With Vanishing White Matter (van der Knaap_2002). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11835386). Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified as likely pathogenic (n=2) and VUS (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 3 of the EIF2B1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), however the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in EIF2B1 cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs113994006, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (PMID: 11835386). This variant is also known as IVS2+1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4123). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
