Genes affected

MORC2 (HGNC:23573): (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2) This gene encodes a member of the Microrchidia (MORC) protein superfamily. The encoded protein is known to regulate the condensation of heterochromatin in response to DNA damage and play a role in repressing transcription. The protein has been found to regulate the activity of ATP citrate lyase via specific interaction with this enzyme in the cytosol of lipogenic breast cancer cells. The protein also plays a role in lipogenesis and adipocyte differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

Likely benign, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	-	The MORC2 p.Val682Ile variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs144493873) and ClinVar (classifed as likely benign by Invitae for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2z). The variant was identified in control databases in 55 of 282628 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001946 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 47 of 24942 chromosomes (freq: 0.001884), Other in 2 of 7220 chromosomes (freq: 0.000277), South Asian in 3 of 30616 chromosomes (freq: 0.000098), Latino in 1 of 35434 chromosomes (freq: 0.000028) and European (non-Finnish) in 2 of 128980 chromosomes (freq: 0.000016), but was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or European (Finnish) populations. The p.Val682 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, PolyPhen-2, 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. -

Aug 18, 2020

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. -
