Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points: 0P and 10B. BP4_Moderate BS1 BS2

The NM_001303256.3(MORC2):​c.2281C>T​(p.Arg761Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000192 in 1,613,948 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R761Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

MORC2 (HGNC:23573): (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2) This gene encodes a member of the Microrchidia (MORC) protein superfamily. The encoded protein is known to regulate the condensation of heterochromatin in response to DNA damage and play a role in repressing transcription. The protein has been found to regulate the activity of ATP citrate lyase via specific interaction with this enzyme in the cytosol of lipogenic breast cancer cells. The protein also plays a role in lipogenesis and adipocyte differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.25832066).
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.0000205 (30/1461884) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.000101 (4/39700). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000335. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 15 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 30 AD gene.
