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 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 9-137813531-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-137813531-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3061941.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

A heterozygous 5’ splice site variant in intron 21 of the EHMT1 gene that affects the invariant GT donor splice site downstream of exon 22 (c.3180+1G>A) was detected. The variant has not been reported in the 1000 genomes, gnomAD (v3.1), gnomdAD (v2.1) and topmed databases. The in-silico prediction of the variant is damaging by MutationTaster2. The reference base is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic. -
