Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_024757.5(EHMT1):​c.2863_2864delGT​(p.Val955ArgfsTer221) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. V955V) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 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 VariationId is 65732.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

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). -
