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.

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The EHMT1 p.Ala167Thr variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in Cosmic or LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs141282876) and in ClinVar (classified as a VUS by Invitae and as likely benign by Ambry Genetics). The variant was identified in control databases in 15 of 247106 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000061 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: South Asian in 10 of 30416 chromosomes (freq: 0.000329) and European (non-Finnish) in 5 of 111096 chromosomes (freq: 0.000045), but not in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish) or Other populations. The p.Ala167 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign.
