Genes affected

MFSD2A (HGNC:25897): (MFSD2 lysolipid transporter A, lysophospholipid) The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane protein and sodium-dependent lysophosphatidylcholine transporter. The encoded protein is involved in the establishment of the blood-brain barrier and is required for brain growth and function. Defects in this gene are a cause of a progressive microcephaly syndrome.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 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 11 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser19Alafs*12) in the MFSD2A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in MFSD2A cause disease. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of a MFSD2A-related condition (Invitae). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
