Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM2 BP4_Strong BP7

The NM_006709.5(EHMT2):​c.711A>C​(p.Ser237Ser) variant causes a splice region, synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.

• Frequency: Genomes: not found (cov: 31)
• Consequence: EHMT2 NM_006709.5 splice_region, synonymous
• Clinical Significance: Not reported in ClinVar
• Conservation: PhyloP100: -6.54

Genes affected

EHMT2 (HGNC:14129): (euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 2) This gene encodes a methyltransferase that methylates lysine residues of histone H3. Methylation of H3 at lysine 9 by this protein results in recruitment of additional epigenetic regulators and repression of transcription. This gene was initially thought to be two different genes, NG36 and G9a, adjacent to each other in the HLA locus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.7).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-6.54 with no splicing effect.
