Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 2P and 2B. PM2BP4_Moderate
The NM_001323638.2(ZEB1):c.-500G>C variant causes a 5 prime UTR premature start codon gain change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
ZEB1 (HGNC:11642): (zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1) This gene encodes a zinc finger transcription factor. The encoded protein likely plays a role in transcriptional repression of interleukin 2. Mutations in this gene have been associated with posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy-3 and late-onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt ZEB1 protein function. This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 53 of the ZEB1 protein (p.Cys53Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ZEB1-related conditions. 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. -
