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

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -10 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 the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd4 at 5 AD gene.
