Genes affected
EVC2 (HGNC:19747): (EvC ciliary complex subunit 2) This gene encodes a protein that functions in bone formation and skeletal development. Mutations in this gene, as well as in a neighboring gene that lies in a head-to-head configuration, cause Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, an autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia that is also known as chondroectodermal dysplasia. Mutations in this gene also cause acrofacial dysostosis Weyers type, also referred to as Curry-Hall syndrome, a disease that combines limb and facial abnormalities. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: EVC2 c.1470+3A>T alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant weakens a 5' donor site. Two predict the variant abolishes a canonical 5' splicing donor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing (Altunoglu_2024). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-05 in 251176 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in EVC2 causing Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (4e-05 vs 0.0029), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1470+3A>T has been reported in the literature in a homozygous individual affected with Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (example:Altunoglu_2024). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 574066). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change falls in intron 10 of the EVC2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the EVC2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs370769794, gnomAD 0.009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EVC2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 574066). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
