Genes affected
EIF2B5 (HGNC:3261): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit epsilon) 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, Nov 2009]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 18, 2023Reported with a second EIF2B5 variant, phase unknown, in patients with vanishing white matter disease in published literature (Leegwater et al., 2001; Turon-Vinas et al., 2014; Slynko et al., 2021); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; In addition, in silico splice predictors suggest this variant may lead to abnormal gene splicing; Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29382480, 12707859, 31418856, 9710032, 18263758, 14572143, 16998732, 16807905, 20838246, 25089094, 33084218, 28252636, 35012964, 33432707, 11704758) -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 29, 2023This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 106 of the EIF2B5 protein (p.Leu106Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs113994048, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (PMID: 11704758, 25089094, 31418856). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 195203). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects EIF2B5 function (PMID: 14993275). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesAug 21, 2024The EIF2B5 c.318A>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu106Phe. This variant has been reported in homozygous and compound heterozygous states individuals with features consistent with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (Supplementary Table 2, Cohen et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31418856; Esmer et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29382480; Supplementary Table 1, Salinas et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33084218; eTable 2, Schlüter et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35012964; Supplementary Table 1, phasing unknown in Baldridge et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28252636; phasing unknown in Leegwater et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11704758). This variant is reported in 0.032% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter 1 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM-The missense variant c.318A>T (p.Leu106Phe) in the EIF2B5 gene has been reported previously in heterozygous and homozygous states in multiple individuals affected with Vanishing white matter leukoencephalopathy. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects the EIF2B5 function (Turón-Viñas et al., 2014; Richardson et al., 2004). However there is no recent literature supporting experimental evidence. This variant is reported with the allele frequency (0.004%) in the gnomAD. It is submitted to ClinVar with varying interpretations as Pathogenic/ Likely Pathogenic. The amino acid Leucine at position 106 is changed to a Phenylalanine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The variant is predicted as damaging by SIFT. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
