Genes affected
EIF2B3 (HGNC:3259): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit gamma) The protein encoded by this gene is one of the subunits of initiation factor eIF2B, which catalyzes the exchange of eukaryotic initiation factor 2-bound GDP for GTP. It has also been found to function as a cofactor of hepatitis C virus internal ribosome entry site-mediated translation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with leukodystrophy with vanishing white matter. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Vanishing white matter disease Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 11, 2024Variant summary: EIF2B3 c.272G>A (p.Arg91His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Nucleotidyl transferase domain (IPR005835) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251392 control chromosomes. c.272G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Leukoencephalopathy With Vanishing White Matter (examples: Robinson_2014, LaPiana_2014, Slynko_2021, Deng_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34745209, 22312164, 25079571, 33432707). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 431961). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
