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. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

EFTUD2 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• mandibulofacial dysostosis-microcephaly syndrome

  Inheritance: AD Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG, SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: ClinGen, Orphanet, G2P, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 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 17-44854617-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-44854617-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 435033.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
