Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2PP3_Moderate

The NM_001034116.2(EIF2B4):c.1070G>A(p.Arg357Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000558 in 1,614,148 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R357W) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
EIF2B4 (HGNC:3260): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit delta) Eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), which is necessary for protein synthesis, is a GTP exchange factor composed of five different subunits. The protein encoded by this gene is the fourth, or delta, subunit. Defects in this gene are a cause of leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) and ovarioleukodystrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
GTF3C2-AS2 (HGNC:55699): (GTF3C2 antisense RNA 2)

Vanishing white matter disease Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaNov 28, 2018The EIF2B4 c.1067G>A (p.Arg356Gln) missense variant has been reported in three individuals, including a sibling pair, affected with white matter vanishing disease, all in a compound heterozygous state with a missense variant. The variant was present in one unaffected parent in a heterozygous state, absent from 120 control chromosomes and is reported at a frequency of 0.000012 in the Total population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the limited evidence, the p.Arg356Gln variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for childhood ataxia with central nervous system hypomyelination/vanishing white matter. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
