Genes affected

IQSEC2 (HGNC:29059): (IQ motif and Sec7 domain ArfGEF 2) This gene encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the ARF family of small GTP-binding proteins. The encoded protein is a component of the postsynaptic density at excitatory synapses, and may play a critical role in cytoskeletal and synaptic organization through the activation of selected ARF substrates including ARF1 and ARF6. Mutations in this gene have been implicated in nonsyndromic X-linked cognitive disability. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in IQSEC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21686261, 26793055). This sequence change inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 5 of the IQSEC2 mRNA (c.1649dupC), causing a frameshift at codon 551. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu551Serfs*17) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
