Genes affected
HEPACAM (HGNC:26361): (hepatic and glial cell adhesion molecule) The protein encoded by this gene is a single-pass type I membrane protein that localizes to the cytoplasmic side of the cell membrane. The encoded protein acts as a homodimer and is involved in cell motility and cell-matrix interactions. The expression of this gene is downregulated or undetectable in many cancer cell lines, so this may be a tumor suppressor gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]

Previously reported in cis with a second HRPACAM variant in a child with macrocephaly, and normal early development; both alleles were inherited from unaffected father; therefore the pathogenicity of this variant is unclear (Lpez-Hernandez et al., 2011); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21419380) -

Unlikely to be causative of HEPACAM-related megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (AD) Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts Uncertain:1

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.862C>T (p.Arg288Cys) variant has been reported in one study and was found in three patients with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts, including two who carried the variant in a heterozygous state and one who carried the variant in a complex allele with a second missense variant (Hernandez et al. 2011). The p.Arg288Cys variant was absent from 400 control chromosomes but is reported at a frequency of 0.00128 in the European American population of the Exome Sequencing Project. Based on the evidence, the p.Arg288Cys variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts. -
