Genes affected

MEGF8 (HGNC:3233): (multiple EGF like domains 8) The protein encoded by this gene is a single-pass type I membrane protein of unknown function that contains several EGF-like domains, Kelch repeats, and PSI domains. Defects in this gene are a cause of Carpenter syndrome 2. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.009564936).
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000493 (75/152252) while in subpopulation SAS AF= 0.00228 (11/4832). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00128. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 35 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 750 of the MEGF8 protein (p.His750Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs151116615, 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 MEGF8-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 577904). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The observed missense c.2450A>G p.His817Arg variant in MEGF8 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The p.His817Arg variant has allele frequency 0.05% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Uncertain Significance. Multiple lines of computational evidence Polyphen - Possibly damaging, SIFT - Tolerated and Mutation Taster - Disease causing predicts conflicting evidence on protein structure and function for this variant. The amino acid change p.His817Arg in MEGF8 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid His at position 817 is changed to a Arg changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance VUS. In the absence of another reportable variant in MEGF8 gene, the molecular diagnosis is not confirmed. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2249A>G (p.H750R) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 13) of the MEGF8 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2249, causing the histidine (H) at amino acid position 750 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
