Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2 PP2

The NM_001365999.1(SZT2):c.8803C>T(p.Arg2935Trp) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,438 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R2935Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

SZT2 (HGNC:29040): (SZT2 subunit of KICSTOR complex) The protein encoded by this gene is expressed in the brain, predominantly in the parietal and frontal cortex as well as in dorsal root ganglia. It is localized to the peroxisome, and is implicated in resistance to oxidative stress. It likely functions by increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, but itself has no direct SOD activity. Studies in mice show that this gene confers low seizure threshold, and may also enhance epileptogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, SZT2

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 2878 of the SZT2 protein (p.Arg2878Trp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SZT2-related conditions (PMID: 29358611). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 433095). 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 disruptive. 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. -
