Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points: 0P and 3B. BP4_ModerateBS2_Supporting
The NM_001319206.4(MEF2A):c.403C>T(p.Pro135Ser) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000186 in 1,609,356 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
MEF2A (HGNC:6993): (myocyte enhancer factor 2A) The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA-binding transcription factor that activates many muscle-specific, growth factor-induced, and stress-induced genes. The encoded protein can act as a homodimer or as a heterodimer and is involved in several cellular processes, including muscle development, neuronal differentiation, cell growth control, and apoptosis. Defects in this gene could be a cause of autosomal dominant coronary artery disease 1 with myocardial infarction (ADCAD1). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.409C>T (p.P137S) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 4) of the MEF2A gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 409, causing the proline (P) at amino acid position 137 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
