Genes affected

MGME1 (HGNC:16205): (mitochondrial genome maintenance exonuclease 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein necessary for the maintenance of mitochondrial genome synthesis. The encoded protein is a RecB-type exonuclease and primarily cleaves single-stranded DNA. Defects in this gene have been associated with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome-11. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

OVOL2 (HGNC:15804): (ovo like zinc finger 2) This gene encodes a member of the evolutionarily conserved ovo-like protein family. Mammalian members of this family contain a single zinc finger domain composed of a tetrad of C2H2 zinc fingers with variable N- and C-terminal extensions that contain intrinsically disordered domains. Members of this family are involved in epithelial development and differentiation. Knockout of this gene in mouse results in early embryonic lethality with phenotypes that include neurectoderm expansion, impaired vascularization, and heart anomalies. In humans, allelic variants of this gene have been associated with posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 4 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 20-17969893-CA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-17969893-CA-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2041766.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln12Argfs*30) in the MGME1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MGME1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23313956). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MGME1-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
