Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 2P and 2B. PM2 BP4 BP7

The NM_005918.4(MDH2):​c.18C>A​(p.Ala6Ala) variant causes a 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. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A6A) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

MDH2 (HGNC:6971): (malate dehydrogenase 2) Malate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reversible oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate, utilizing the NAD/NADH cofactor system in the citric acid cycle. The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondria and may play pivotal roles in the malate-aspartate shuttle that operates in the metabolic coordination between cytosol and mitochondria. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

STYXL1 (HGNC:18165): (serine/threonine/tyrosine interacting like 1) Enables protein phosphatase binding activity; protein phosphatase inhibitor activity; and pseudophosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of phosphoprotein phosphatase activity; negative regulation of stress granule assembly; and positive regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in mitochondrion. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.16).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=2.77 with no splicing effect.
