Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 3P and 2B. PM2 PP2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_002488.5(NDUFA2):​c.179A>C​(p.Asp60Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D60N) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

NDUFA2 (HGNC:7685): (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A2) The encoded protein is a subunit of the hydrophobic protein fraction of the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex 1), the first enzyme complex in the electron transport chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, and may be involved in regulating complex I activity or its assembly via assistance in redox processes. Mutations in this gene are associated with Leigh syndrome, an early-onset progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

IK (HGNC:5958): (IK cytokine) The protein encoded by this gene was identified by its RED repeat, a stretch of repeated arginine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid residues. The protein localizes to discrete dots within the nucleus, excluding the nucleolus. Its function is unknown. This gene maps to chromosome 5; however, a pseudogene may exist on chromosome 2.

TMCO6 (HGNC:28814): (transmembrane and coiled-coil domains 6) Predicted to enable nuclear import signal receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in protein import into nucleus. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 2 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 0 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: -0.24046 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.5731 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to mitochondrial complex I deficiency, nuclear type 13, Leigh syndrome, cystic leukoencephalopathy without megalencephaly, Leigh syndrome with leukodystrophy.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.2440212).
