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]

Invitae

Jun 23, 2019

This variant has been observed in an individual affected with a severe developmental disorder (PMID: 28135719). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 475589). In summary, this variant is a novel missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 910 of the MORC2 protein (p.Arg910Trp). The arginine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and tryptophan. -
