Genes affected
EIF2B2 (HGNC:3258): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit beta) This gene encodes the beta subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor-2B (EIF2B). EIF2B is involved in protein synthesis and exchanges GDP and GTP for its activation and deactivation. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 31, 2024This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 273 of the EIF2B2 protein (p.Lys273Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs113994016, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (PMID: 11704758, 29706645, 34745209). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 495050). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt EIF2B2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects EIF2B2 function (PMID: 15054402, 21560189). This variant disrupts the p.Lys273 amino acid residue in EIF2B2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with EIF2B2-related conditions (PMID: 22992991, 31438897), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 29, 2022Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect on GEF activity (Liu et al., 2011); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30315562, 21560189, 11704758, 27298454, 16998732, 29706645, 34463036, 34745209) -
Osteogenesis imperfecta Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 15, 2024Variant summary: TMEM38B c.818A>G (p.Lys273Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.4e-05 in 251216 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in TMEM38B causing Osteogenesis Imperfecta (8.4e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.818A>G in individuals affected with Osteogenesis Imperfecta and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Two submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Both submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Vanishing white matter disease Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 15, 2024Variant summary: EIF2B2 c.818A>G (p.Lys273Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the NagB/RpiA transferase-like (IPR037171) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251376 control chromosomes. c.818A>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Leukoencephalopathy With Vanishing White Matter. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in >50%-90% of normal activity. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 495050). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
