Genes affected

EPM2A (HGNC:3413): (EPM2A glucan phosphatase, laforin) This gene encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase and may be involved in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. The protein acts on complex carbohydrates to prevent glycogen hyperphosphorylation, thus avoiding the formation of insoluble aggregates. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene have been associated with Lafora disease, a rare, adult-onset recessive neurodegenerative disease, which results in myoclonus epilepsy and usually results in death several years after the onset of symptoms. The disease is characterized by the accumulation of insoluble particles called Lafora bodies, which are derived from glycogen. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2018]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Stoplost variant. No alternative stopcodon identified downstream, so we assume a Nonstop Mediated Decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

This sequence change disrupts the translational stop signal of the EPM2A mRNA. It is expected to extend the length of the EPM2A protein by 17 additional amino acid residues. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EPM2A-related conditions. 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. -
