Genes affected

EHMT1 (HGNC:24650): (euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates the lysine-9 position of histone H3. This action marks the genomic region packaged with these methylated histones for transcriptional repression. This protein may be involved in the silencing of MYC- and E2F-responsive genes and therefore could play a role in the G0/G1 cell cycle transition. Defects in this gene are a cause of chromosome 9q subtelomeric deletion syndrome (9q-syndrome, also known as Kleefstra syndrome). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 9-137811607-CTG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-137811607-CTG-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 65732.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Kleefstra syndrome 1 Pathogenic:1 Other:1

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Aug 05, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Kleefstra syndrome (PMID: 22670141). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val955Argfs*221) in the EHMT1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in EHMT1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16826528, 19264732). -
