Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -18 ACMG points: 2P and 20B. PM1BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBA1

The NM_005670.4(EPM2A):ā€‹c.136G>Cā€‹(p.Ala46Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00384 in 788,066 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 92 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/18 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (ā˜…ā˜…). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A46T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
EPM2A (HGNC:3413): (EPM2A glucan phosphatase, laforin) This gene encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase and may be involved in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. The protein acts on complex carbohydrates to prevent glycogen hyperphosphorylation, thus avoiding the formation of insoluble aggregates. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene have been associated with Lafora disease, a rare, adult-onset recessive neurodegenerative disease, which results in myoclonus epilepsy and usually results in death several years after the onset of symptoms. The disease is characterized by the accumulation of insoluble particles called Lafora bodies, which are derived from glycogen. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2018]
