Genes affected

EHMT1 (HGNC:24650): (euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates the lysine-9 position of histone H3. This action marks the genomic region packaged with these methylated histones for transcriptional repression. This protein may be involved in the silencing of MYC- and E2F-responsive genes and therefore could play a role in the G0/G1 cell cycle transition. Defects in this gene are a cause of chromosome 9q subtelomeric deletion syndrome (9q-syndrome, also known as Kleefstra syndrome). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.026943803 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 9-137800985-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-137800985-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 374034.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Variant summary: EHMT1 c.2712+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing and loss of EHMT1 function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. One predicts the variant weakens a cryptic 3' acceptor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing in patient cells, resulting in multiple aberrant transcript species which either skip exon 18 (in frame) or include 4 base pairs of intronic sequence (frameshift expected) (example, Rump_2013). The variant was absent in 251112 control chromosomes. c.2712+1G>A has been reported in the literature de novo in at least 2 individuals affected with Kleefstra Syndrome 1 (example, Rump_2013, Torga_2018). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23232695, 30370152). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 374034). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 18 of the EHMT1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in EHMT1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16826528, 19264732). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Kleefstra syndrome (PMID: 23232695, 30370152, 31623504). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 374034). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v0.6.1, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease for this gene. (N) 0107 - This gene is known to be associated with autosomal dominant disease. (N) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein. The substitution at this canonical splice site has been shown to result in a frameshift leading to a predicted loss of protein function through NMD (PMID 23232695) (intron 18 of 26). (P) 0213 - In-frame insertion/deletion in a non-repetitive region that has high conservation. The substitution at this canonical splice site has also been shown to result in skipping of exon 18 (PMID 23232695). (P) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD. (P) 0401 - Variant is located in a gene associated with a severe early onset DOMINANT condition that is INTOLERANT to loss-of-function variants. (P) 0505 - Abnormal splicing is predicted by in silico tools and nucleotide is highly conserved. (P) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif or hotspot. (N) 0704 - Comparable variant in relevant codon/region has low previous evidence for pathogenicity. A different variant in the same splice site, c.2712+1G>C, has also been previously reported in a clinical case (ClinVar). (P) 0802 - Moderate previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has previously been reported in multiple patients with Kleefstra syndrome, and was shown to be de novo on one occasion (ClinVar; PMID: 23232695, 30370152). (P) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (N) Legend: (P) - Pathogenic, (N) - Neutral, (B) - Benign -
