Genes affected

EPM2A (HGNC:3413): (EPM2A glucan phosphatase, laforin) This gene encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase and may be involved in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. The protein acts on complex carbohydrates to prevent glycogen hyperphosphorylation, thus avoiding the formation of insoluble aggregates. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene have been associated with Lafora disease, a rare, adult-onset recessive neurodegenerative disease, which results in myoclonus epilepsy and usually results in death several years after the onset of symptoms. The disease is characterized by the accumulation of insoluble particles called Lafora bodies, which are derived from glycogen. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2018]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.07001069).
• BP6: Variant 6-145627563-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr6-145627563-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 137219.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr6-145627563-A-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_benign].
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.000329 (481/1461890) while in subpopulation MID AF= 0.00312 (18/5768). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00202. There are 1 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 221 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck.

Ambry Genetics

Sep 06, 2016

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. -
