Genes affected

FEZF2 (HGNC:13506): (FEZ family zinc finger 2) Predicted to enable transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; nervous system development; and regulation of neuron differentiation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

FEZF2 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• complex neurodevelopmental disorder

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.097826086 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.8, offset of -45, new splice context is: ccccccggggctgattgtAGgcc. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
