Genes affected

EFTUD2 (HGNC:30858): (elongation factor Tu GTP binding domain containing 2) This gene encodes a GTPase which is a component of the spliceosome complex which processes precursor mRNAs to produce mature mRNAs. Mutations in this gene are associated with mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-44853305-GC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-44853305-GC-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 488388.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

A heterozygous deletion variant was identified, NM_004247.3(EFTUD2):c.2551delG in exon 25 of the EFTUD2 gene (chr17:42930673). This deletion is predicted to cause a frameshift from amino acid position 851, introducing a stop codon 7 residues downstream, NP_004238.3(EFTUD2):p.(Ala851ProfsTer7), resulting in loss of normal protein function either through truncation (loss of ~1/10th of the protien) or nonsense-mediated decay. This variant has not been previously observed in our cohort, it is not present in population databases (ExAC/GnomAD) and has not been previously observed in other clinical cases. However, other heterozygous truncating variants downstream of c.2551delG in EFTUD2 gene have been reported as pathogenic in individuals with Mandibulofacial dysostosis (ClinVar). Based on current information, this variant has been classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC. -
