Genes affected
EIF2B1 (HGNC:3257): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit alpha) This gene encodes one of five subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), a GTP exchange factor for eukaryotic initiation factor 2 and an essential regulator for protein synthesis. Mutations in this gene and the genes encoding other EIF2B subunits have been associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 19, 2021This sequence change replaces asparagine with tyrosine at codon 208 of the EIF2B1 protein (p.Asn208Tyr). The asparagine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between asparagine and tyrosine. This variant is present in population databases (rs113994007, ExAC 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (PMID: 11835386). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4124). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects EIF2B1 function (PMID: 26285592). 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. -
