Genes affected

EZH2 (HGNC:3527): (enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit) This gene encodes a member of the Polycomb-group (PcG) family. PcG family members form multimeric protein complexes, which are involved in maintaining the transcriptional repressive state of genes over successive cell generations. This protein associates with the embryonic ectoderm development protein, the VAV1 oncoprotein, and the X-linked nuclear protein. This protein may play a role in the hematopoietic and central nervous systems. Multiple alternatively splcied transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

This variant, c.2218_2220dupAAG, results in the insertion of 1 amino acid(s) to the EZH2 protein (p.Lys740dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed to be de novo in an individual affected with overgrowth, developmental delay and advanced bone age (Invitae). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available for this variant, and the functional significance of the duplicated amino acid is currently unknown. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
