Genes affected

KMT2D (HGNC:7133): (lysine methyltransferase 2D) The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates the Lys-4 position of histone H3. The encoded protein is part of a large protein complex called ASCOM, which has been shown to be a transcriptional regulator of the beta-globin and estrogen receptor genes. Mutations in this gene have been shown to be a cause of Kabuki syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 12-49046792-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-49046792-T-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 463016.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

In summary, donor and acceptor splice site variants are typically loss-of-function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in KMT2D are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24633898). However, without additional functional and/or genetic data, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a KMT2D-related disease. This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 14 of the KMT2D gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
