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]

Submissions by phenotype

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2Z Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 17, 2023ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 542282). This sequence change falls in intron 11 of the MORC2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MORC2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs370880177, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MORC2-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a 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. -
