Genes affected
EEF1A2 (HGNC:3192): (eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2) This gene encodes an isoform of the alpha subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome. This isoform (alpha 2) is expressed in brain, heart and skeletal muscle, and the other isoform (alpha 1) is expressed in brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas. This gene may be critical in the development of ovarian cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 122 of the EEF1A2 protein (p.Glu122Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with neurological disease, including epilepsy and intellectual disability (PMID: 24697219, 26682508, 27441201). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 192252). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt EEF1A2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects EEF1A2 function (PMID: 3066688). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

EEF1A2-related developmental and degenerative epileptic-dyskinetic encephalopathy Pathogenic:1
Feb 13, 2020
Epilepsy Neurogenetics Initiative, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:research

The EEF1A2 c.364G>A; p.Glu122Lys variant has been identified in three individuals with a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy characterized by global developmental delays, moderate to severe intellectual disability, and intractable infantile or early childhood onset epilepsy. One individual had a hyperkinetic movement disorder characterized by choreoathetosis. The variant is confirmed de novo in two individuals; testing of both parents was not performed in the third individual. The variant is absent from population databases (ExAC, gnomAD) and is predicted to have a damaging effect on the protein by in silico models. Therefore, this variant has been classified as pathogenic. -
