Genes affected

ZIC2 (HGNC:12873): (Zic family member 2) This gene encodes a member of the ZIC family of C2H2-type zinc finger proteins. This protein functions as a transcriptional repressor and may regulate tissue specific expression of dopamine receptor D1. Expansion of an alanine repeat in the C-terminus of the encoded protein and other mutations in this gene cause holoprosencephaly type 5. Holoprosencephaly is the most common structural anomaly of the human brain. A polyhistidine tract polymorphism in this gene may be associated with increased risk of neural tube defects. This gene is closely linked to a gene encoding zinc finger protein of the cerebellum 5, a related family member on chromosome 13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.6, offset of -26, new splice context is: caggctctgggtgtctgcAGcca. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-99984944-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-99984944-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 468364.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 1 of the ZIC2 gene. It is expected to disrupt mRNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has not been reported in the literature in an individual with a ZIC2-related disease.  However, a sequence change at an adjacent nucleotide that affects the same intron 1 acceptor splice site (c.1076-1G>A) has been reported in three individuals affected with holoprosencephaly (PMID: 19177455). Family studies have indicated that this variant was not present in the parents of an individual with holoprosencephaly, which suggests that it was de novo in that affected individual. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
