Genes affected

GLI2 (HGNC:4318): (GLI family zinc finger 2) This gene encodes a protein which belongs to the C2H2-type zinc finger protein subclass of the Gli family. Members of this subclass are characterized as transcription factors which bind DNA through zinc finger motifs. These motifs contain conserved H-C links. Gli family zinc finger proteins are mediators of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling and they are implicated as potent oncogenes in the embryonal carcinoma cell. The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the cytoplasm and activates patched Drosophila homolog (PTCH) gene expression. It is also thought to play a role during embryogenesis. The encoded protein is associated with several phenotypes- Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome, Pallister-Hall syndrome, preaxial polydactyly type IV, postaxial polydactyly types A1 and B.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 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 41 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-120797365-CA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-120797365-CA-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1371947.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser17Valfs*29) in the GLI2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GLI2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20685856, 24744436). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GLI2-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
