Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2

The NM_015164.4(PLEKHM2):​c.2109delC​(p.Gly705AlafsTer11) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. I703I) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

PLEKHM2 (HGNC:29131): (pleckstrin homology and RUN domain containing M2) This gene encodes a protein that binds the plus-end directed microtubule motor protein kinesin, together with the lysosomal GTPase Arl8, and is required for lysosomes to distribute away from the microtubule-organizing center. The encoded protein belongs to the multisubunit BLOC-one-related complex that regulates lysosome positioning. It binds a Salmonella effector protein called Salmonella induced filament A and is a critical host determinant in Salmonella pathogenesis. It has a domain architecture consisting of an N-terminal RPIP8, UNC-14, and NESCA (RUN) domain that binds kinesin-1 as well as the lysosomal GTPase Arl8, and a C-terminal pleckstrin homology domain that binds the Salmonella induced filament A effector protein. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene lead to abnormal localization of lysosomes, impaired autophagy flux and are associated with recessive dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular noncompaction.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in PLEKHM2 cause disease. Therefore, this variant has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a PLEKHM2-related disease. This sequence change deletes 1 nucleotide from exon 14 of the PLEKHM2 mRNA (c.2109delC), causing a frameshift at codon 705. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly705Alafs*11) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
