Genes affected

EPM2A (HGNC:3413): (EPM2A glucan phosphatase, laforin) This gene encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase and may be involved in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. The protein acts on complex carbohydrates to prevent glycogen hyperphosphorylation, thus avoiding the formation of insoluble aggregates. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene have been associated with Lafora disease, a rare, adult-onset recessive neurodegenerative disease, which results in myoclonus epilepsy and usually results in death several years after the onset of symptoms. The disease is characterized by the accumulation of insoluble particles called Lafora bodies, which are derived from glycogen. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2018]

EPM2A-DT (HGNC:48990): (EPM2A divergent transcript)

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -12 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.34).
• BP6: Variant 6-145735475-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr6-145735475-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 137222.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.369 with no splicing effect.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000772 (117/151584) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.0014 (95/67762). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00117. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 47 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 4 AR gene
