Genes affected
NSUN2 (HGNC:25994): (NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 2) This gene encodes a methyltransferase that catalyzes the methylation of cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (m5C) at position 34 of intron-containing tRNA(Leu)(CAA) precursors. This modification is necessary to stabilize the anticodon-codon pairing and correctly translate the mRNA. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 12, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
not provided Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 05, 2022This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 177 of the NSUN2 protein (p.His177Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs149196615, gnomAD 0.2%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NSUN2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 129843). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 08, 2021The c.529C>T (p.H177Y) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the NSUN2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 529, causing the histidine (H) at amino acid position 177 to be replaced by a tyrosine (Y). The p.H177Y alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
