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]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -7 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.38).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0000328 (5/152330) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.00012 (5/41564). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000473. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 3 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

BS2

High AC in GnomAd4 at 5 AD gene.

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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 576187). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MORC2-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs111618347, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change falls in intron 16 of the MORC2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MORC2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
