Genes affected
EPM2A (HGNC:3413): (EPM2A glucan phosphatase, laforin) This gene encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase and may be involved in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. The protein acts on complex carbohydrates to prevent glycogen hyperphosphorylation, thus avoiding the formation of insoluble aggregates. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene have been associated with Lafora disease, a rare, adult-onset recessive neurodegenerative disease, which results in myoclonus epilepsy and usually results in death several years after the onset of symptoms. The disease is characterized by the accumulation of insoluble particles called Lafora bodies, which are derived from glycogen. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2018]
EPM2A-DT (HGNC:48990): (EPM2A divergent transcript)

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Dec 21, 2024
Ambry Genetics
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.170C>T (p.P57L) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the EPM2A gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 170, causing the proline (P) at amino acid position 57 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Progressive myoclonic epilepsy Uncertain:1
Jul 27, 2022
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 57 of the EPM2A protein (p.Pro57Leu). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EPM2A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 462930). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -
