Genes affected

DGKE (HGNC:2852): (diacylglycerol kinase epsilon) Diacylglycerol kinases are thought to be involved mainly in the regeneration of phosphatidylinositol (PI) from diacylglycerol in the PI-cycle during cell signal transduction. When expressed in mammalian cells, DGK-epsilon shows specificity for arachidonyl-containing diacylglycerol. DGK-epsilon is expressed predominantly in testis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

TRIM25 (HGNC:12932): (tripartite motif containing 25) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains, a RING, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2, and a coiled-coil region. The protein is an RNA binding protein, functions as a ubiquitin E3 ligase and is involved in multiple cellular processes, including regulation of antiviral innate immunity.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.5, offset of 49, new splice context is: agttttgcctctgggaacAGgca. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-56848694-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-56848694-A-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 39580.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Collection Method: curation

DGKE c.889-2A>G is a splice variant located in the acceptor splice region of intron 5. This variant has been observed in at least one proband affected with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (PMID:23274426). The variant was found to segregate with disease in at least one affected family (PMID:23274426). At least one splicing study identified that this variant results in aberrant splicing (PMID:23274426). It is absent or not present at a significant frequency in gnomAD. In conclusion, we classify DGKE c.889-2A>G as a pathogenic variant.
