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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 13, 2022Functional studies in lymphocytes from a patient who had the R315H variant as well as another EIF2B5 variant suggest reduction of guanine exchange activity compared to wild-type; however, additional studies are needed to validate the functional effect of this variant on its own (Horzinski et al., 2010); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21307862, 17646634, 26162493, 20016818, 15136673, 11704758, 33084218, 34745209, 20958979) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 31, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 315 of the EIF2B5 protein (p.Arg315His). This variant is present in population databases (rs113994064, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (PMID: 11704758, 17646634; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5950). 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 EIF2B5 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg315 amino acid residue in EIF2B5. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with EIF2B5-related conditions (PMID: 11704758, 15136673, 21307862), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
