Genes affected

MORC2 (HGNC:23573): (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2) This gene encodes a member of the Microrchidia (MORC) protein superfamily. The encoded protein is known to regulate the condensation of heterochromatin in response to DNA damage and play a role in repressing transcription. The protein has been found to regulate the activity of ATP citrate lyase via specific interaction with this enzyme in the cytosol of lipogenic breast cancer cells. The protein also plays a role in lipogenesis and adipocyte differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 238 of the MORC2 protein (p.Arg238His). This variant is present in population databases (rs367766290, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MORC2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 542277). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MORC2 protein function. 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. -
