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]

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 650 of the MORC2 protein (p.Thr650Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs371710965, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MORC2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 542291). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MORC2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -

The p.T650I variant (also known as c.1949C>T), located in coding exon 19 of the MORC2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1949. The threonine at codon 650 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
